The Ocean - What Do You Explore

This issue was inspired by my own need for exploration and 20 years of wandering the shores of Palos Verdes, California. I hope these photographs represent what I have been fortunate enough to enjoy for all these years.

For this edition, my intent was to balance the beauty of the ocean with the humility and humor that it can inspire. The reader will find that most of the quotes herein are from Mark Twain, a premier American humorist.
