Apple Pies & a Leica M10
One of my favorite desserts is apple pie. Out of the different types of apple pies, Dutch crumble is by far the tastiest. When I learned of the mining town of Julian which is known for apple pies I had to visit.
Located about 60 miles northeast of San Diego, this little mountain town has some of the most delicious apple pies one could eat. In my opinion in this order my favorite pies (not pictured) were, Boysenberry Apple Crumb, Peach Apple Crumb, Dutch Apple Crumb, and a Blueberry pie.
My wife and I stayed at guest house up in the mountains about 20 minutes away from the main part of the town. The views were breath taking. I will definitely be back. Whenever I go on a trip I always have a camera with me, rather that’s film or digital. For this trip I brought both. My Leica M4-P and the Leica M10. Below you’ll see moments captured with the M10.
Born in Michigan, I grew up surrounded by art, music, and travel. My mother was a contemporary artist, and my dad was a minister and a musician. Every summer, my family traveled to Brownsville, Cuidad Victoria, and Matamoros for mission work. Being one of six kids, I liked being in my own creative space where my imagination met storytelling. Growing up to the sounds of artists like Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Led Zeplin, and James Taylor would continue to influence my artistic expression.
When I worked on the yearbook for our high school, my love of photography, layout, and design began. Upon graduating, I studied graphic design at the Art Institute of Charlotte, NC, and the Art Institute in Santa Monica, CA. Over the 10+ years of working in the advertising industry, my passion and eye for photography and the motorcycle culture have grown. Every year, I raise funds and bring awareness to men's mental health and prostate cancer for the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride.
I am based out of Los Angeles, always ready to ride and willing to travel.
