Return to Steinbeck Country

This year's Image Quest photography tour returned to the Central Coast regions of California, exploring with our cameras the literary landscape John Steinbeck wrote about in books such as "Pastures of Heaven," "The Red Pony," "Cannery Row" and "East of Eden."

The trip co-leaders were Ken Rockwell and Richard Nolthenius. Ken and I will conduct another trip together, this time to the Point Reyes/Marin County area, north of San Francisco, California, in early September - check here for updates and for information about two other trips this autumn, to Yosemite and the east side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, that Ken and I are conducting.

Richard Nothenius has photos posted here.

Beautiful and thematic both, Dave. You set a high standard... I'll post my own sometime soon. Now I know the level I need to keep to make the grade. You saw some great shots in scenes I walked right by saying "nope, nothing here...". "At Cachuagua" is my personal favorite of yours. Great work!

Terrific images here, Dave! Love the double exposure trick!
