Moment in San Diego

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I was in San Diego for a few days with a Canon T2i, a 17-50mm f2.8 and my trusty Gorillapod.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I didn’t go to shoot anything really. Basically just visiting my daughter. A personal trip. But I just couldn’t ignore the street musician with the Wayfarers on his weathered face playing classical guitar on Ocean Beach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or allow any of the gorgeous west coast sunsets I witnessed on Pacific Beach and Coronado Island to melt into the ocean without grabbing some footage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The street musician on OB allowed me to shoot around him until exactly one minute into his tune when there was suddenly a major drug bust going down nearby. Police choppers invaded the sky and cruiser sirens cut through his vocals. The dude got very freaked out and stopped playing. Guess they harshed his mellow. I was able to save him from hitting the cutting room floor by finding this awesome tune by Kevin MacLeod “Laid Back Guitars” and laying it down over some shots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Later that same day… I shot a handheld sequence from under and around Crystal Pier on PB and watched the sun go down with my daughter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This short DSLR film is the result of a handful of shots filmed around Ocean Beach and Pacific Beach. It’s dedicated to Coree,

who has the spirit of  her father : )
