“There are only two styles of portrait painting:
the serious and the smirk.”
― Charles Dickens

Ev Yorobe is a well know photographer in his native San Diego, California. He was showcasing his landscape photography at the annual Art Walk over the weekend. When I saw him in the light of his booth answering questions about his fine art, I knew I had to photograph him. The glow in the background is one of his images printed on metal.

Cabrillo National Monument is at the southern tip of the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California, United States. It commemorates the landing of Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542.

New Point Loma Lighthouse:
After boarding up the old lighthouse in 1891, the keeper moved his family and belongings into a new light station at the bottom of the hill, which is still an active light. It can be seen from the Whale Overlook, 100 yards south of the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, or from the tide pool area.

Bright colours or dark ones,
sparkling clarity or misty atmosphere,
landscape, still life, portrait -
I haven't met a subject, style or mood yet
that can't be portrayed beautifully in pastel.
