Oh… So This is Called Treasure Island?

Treasure Island in Orange County?

Where’s the treasure? Where’s the Island? How is this even Treasure Island then?

I’ve been to the beach below Montage in Laguna Beach several times.

But I had no idea it was called Treasure Island.

I shot some pics in San Diego last week and being that it’s kind of a drive, I was really bummed when I looked at them later and realized that I just hated them.

That happens … Too often.

So yesterday, trying to make something happen out of those images that I knew were junk, instead of getting even more frustrated with them, I thought about my options…

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been shooting many of the same locations and that can get old at times. I wanted somewhere “new” or “different”.
Then I remembered that Montage had a really nice beach below it. I hadn’t been there in a few years… So I thought I’d check it out.

I only had an hour or two before sunset and the beach was about 30 minutes away. Do I risk it and see if I can find anything? Or do I stay home and “pout” over my recent photo misfires?
“Rick… You know the answer…”

I wasn’t disappointed.

I do wish that there were a few more clouds in the sky to add some separation and contrast to the images. Maybe another day. I will definitely try this spot another time.

But I still found shots that I liked.

As I was packing up, I looked on my map app to see what the beach was called so that I could tag it in my folders. I laughed… Again, I’ve been here a few times. But I never knew the name.

It was nice to find a few nuggets of treasure.

When I get frustrated and know that I need to do something to get out of the funk, I know that I have to act. I have to move. I have to change my attitude and my perspective.

No excuses.
Get up.
Do what you know needs to be done.

And maybe you’ll find some treasures, Rick.

I know there are no guarantees that every day will produce an image that I’d hang on a wall. In fact, there’s lots of “fools gold” in my picture folders. There are a lot of days when I think, “Man, these pics suck!”

But that’s when I go. That’s when I try again. Because there is always something worth value out there.

Just keep looking for it.

If you like any of these, I’d be interested in knowing which is your favorite. Thanks!
