On an evening with beautiful weather this beach brings hoards of dogs and their owners to the beach. As I was shooting some lineups I was being constantly bombarded by slobbering tongues while navigating the dog beach. When this kid walked in front of me with his furry friend I thought he had ruined the shot, but ended up making it all the better. Photo: Jean Paul Molyneux

Ever since I was young I have had a passion for storytelling. Whether told verbally, through writing, or through art, I found myself constantly looking for ways to retell the moments I experienced each day. Photography began to be the best avenue to share new experiences. It is while I am experiencing a new place or just searching for new perspectives in places I have seen that my passion has evolved. With camera in hand, I am constantly looking for inspiring moments to document. Based in Central California, I have found a place that is always inspiring me and leaves me amazed by God’s beauty around us. As I move forward with photography I can’t wait to visit many other places in the world as I retell the adventures and stories that accompany them.
