Exploring Local Architecture & Hidden Gems

Santa Barbara Photography Walk

Though it has been over 40 years since I moved to Santa Barbara, I still wake up every day amazed by both the natural and man-made beauty of this town. When I am not in the studio, I often meander aimlessly through charming, scenic neighborhoods filled with many artistic touches that make Santa Barbara such a special place to live. These are a few photos from my walks.
