One of the reasons why I love Galveston beach is that it is totally unpredictable. Some days the beach it has a ton of seaweed. Some days it is socked in with sea fog. Some days you have amazing sunsets. Some you don’t have any. You really never know what you will get until you...
Fun fact. The only place I like to photograph sunsets??? The beach. Because I can do amazing silhouette shots like this one. We rarely get vibrant sunsets like this unless a hurricane is on it’s way or has just been there. But sometimes we are in the right place at the right time. What do...
