Blue Pacific

This image, to me and many of my other phototgraphs of California are what I call, my California. My California is not what is broadcast across the country and in some cases the world. My California is not the glamour, the sunny beaches, the movie stars.
My California is mainly about the West, the open country, the rugged mountains and the rugged coast.

Blue Pacific

A sturdy working fishing boat rests quietly at its berth in Noyo Harbor, its hull weathered by years of salt, wind, and long Pacific seasons. The vessel sits low and confident in the water, its white and blue surfaces catching the cool coastal light. Metal rigging rises above it like a skeletal crown, lines and pulleys clinking softly in the breeze—sounds you can almost hear just by looking.

The atmosphere feels crisp and briny, the kind of air that wakes your lungs. There’s a quiet dignity to the scene—no glamour, no postcard polish—just the honest presence of a boat built for work, resting between journeys. The rugged North Coast mood settles over everything: calm, cool, and deeply real, the Pacific whispering just beyond the harbor mouth.

Working Boat

Up along the north coast of California is a sleepy little town called Ft. Bragg. Over the years Ft. Bragg has been many things, adapting along the way. Mostly now it is a tourist town where folks walk around and discover the past history of this town including the impact of logging the Redwoods in the area to the North Coast fishing.
