The pier structure and ocean water create a window for the distant ocean and sky.
One of the many iconic landmarks near San Diego, California is the Scripps Pier. This oft shot perspective of this pier is most popular when the sun aligns perfectly with the ‘window’ at the end of the pier in an event affectionately called ‘Scrippshenge’ named after a similar event at Stonehenge in the UK . This only happens twice a year and is extremely crowded for photographers. My current image will have to do for now.
I am Morris Asato or ‘Morey’ to some of my friends and an amateur photographer from San Diego, California.
I have been using photography as a creative outlet for several years. As you can see from my images, I do cover a variety of subjects but the one element I try to bring to my composition is some blend of art and photography. Since a lot of my images are creative expressions of what I sense and visualize, the term creative art photography probably sums it best.
My hope is that my images connect with others who can sense the feeling I was trying to convey.
