-Garrisson Pena, Photographer- “Hi Tony, Garrisson here and back! With a new term finally underway, I was thinking of you the other day and as usual, would love to keep you posted on stuff that’s been going on.
First off, I’d like to say that I appreciate and thank you for spotlighting me on your blog as reading it and looking at makes me feel sentimental and proud of being an Art Center graduate. I thank you for that and I love to share that with the rest of the world.
As part of my updates, the new image above is one of my favorite drone shots as of yet, entitled: Breathe. I took this photo in Cambria, CA at Moonstone Beach. Cambria is a great, quaint little town along the Central California Coast for a great getaway and just to recharge. For me, it was a chance to, Breathe.
Second, I am looking to take another step towards drone and fine-art landscape photography. For the past two months, I have been doing a lot of research such as buying maps of different countries around the world and beginning the process of planning out future travels of what I would call: photo odysseys. As a teaser of this list, places that I want to travel to are Iceland, Norway, Italy, and French Polynesia. Before committing to any of those places, I want to burst right out of the gate with practicing this process in my own backyard of California. This November, during the Thanksgiving Week, I will be traveling to Death Valley National Park and then to the Monterey Peninsula. In Death Valley, I plan to shoot and spend a lot of time at the sand dunes. After DV, I will be in Monterey to harness opportunities with my drone along the pristine coastlines of Pebble Beach and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Both places I have been looking forward to going back to for some time, as now with a lot of experience under my belt, I will have fresh eyes to work with and look for things I didn’t see last time around.
And finally, I just celebrated the 50 Year Anniversary of Abbey Road. So I went all out and channeled my Beatles spirit by donning my Abbey Road t-shirt, drank out of my Abbey Road mug, and wired-in to listen to both the original album and the new 2019 remix album. Can’t believe we have reached 50 years celebrating one of the greatest albums of all time. My favorite songs on the album are I Want You (She’s So Heavy), Because, and Golden Slumbers. Great time to be a Beatlemaniac.
As always, I enjoy my conversations with you and can’t wait to see where life leads me. Hearing back from you and allowing me to share my stories because they are only extra motivation and incentive that keeps that spark going.
I hope all is well and hope your new round of students in both presentation classes is off to an excellent start.
Warm and Best Regards,”
Garrisson Peña
