Santa Cruz Coast

The Santa Cruz region is a special place to me. I’ve spent 6 years living in Santa Cruz, while attending UC Santa Cruz to obtain my PhD in applied mathematics and statistics. During my spare time, I spent countless hours wandering up and down the cliffs and beaches along the Monterey Bay coast, searching for unique places to photograph.
