Left Coast Feelin

I was perusing one of our office issues of Spread, Art and Culture magazine for some Left Coast inspiration and, lo and behold, found it in this great photography. The images all share a sense of present, a lack of fear, and that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when something special is about to happen, like Christmas morning when you were 5 years old.

The first three are images are from the series called "Lakes" by Michael Schnabel, a photographer well known for landscape. I love the intrigue, exploration, but at the same time, familiarity.

This night-to-day photography by Stephen Wilkes also blew my mind. I find it representative of youthful confidence, ownership. The city is your playground, both day and night.

And this last one, well it's just beautiful. (Matthew Monteith)
