Sorry for the corny title - just couldn't resist.My name is Dennis and I just got back into photography after two-decade layoff. I started off in 35mm in 1973 and lugged a couple of bags of gear, cameras, lenses, etc around the world during a 22 year Navy career. I got out of that habit after kids came along and cribs, diaper bags and car seats elbowed out camera gear for room in the car. Also, while my wife was remarkably patient with my stopping and waiting for just the right lighting, dirty-diapered kids were less so.
I got back into photography after my wife "forced" me to buy a DSLR in December of 2008. We'd gone to a camera store to buy a point and shoot for her to use in her antiques and collectibles business and she caught me looking at a couple of DSLRs in the display case. She suggested I check them out 'just for fun", but, when I tried to give them back to the sales person she asked "Which one do you want?" and refused to leave the store until I chose one.
Sadly, I lost Mrs Sea_Dog to cancer six months later, but fortunately she got to see me revive the passion I once had. My gallery is a lasting tribute to her and our love.

Over the last two and a half years, since learning about Renderosity from a friend, has been a continuous learning and discovery process. The artists here are so amazingly talented and inspirational - and extremely friendly. Seeing their work and reading their comments on mine have allowed me to grow as an artist much faster than I could have on my own.

wonderful clarity and separation of several sights here, and I love the colors too. That sculpture/display is so stark against that huge mountain shoreline...it draws one in (which I'm sure was its intention), and your composition is wonderfully balanced. I can see the highway, and was on roads like that, years back, and I have no idea how anyone can drive them without feeling like it'd be a miracle if they got off that thing alive. Coming from the Midwest, these mountain roads are out of a fairy tale!

Interesting composition and great landscape in the background

A superb and special capture, I like the generous gorgeous sunshine that illuminates this sculpture and this highly symbolic place in many respects, above all, for me, is reminiscent of a great page in American literature history, thinking of Steinbeck, and the place where James Dean appeared, in one of his films. As a young French student, I also spent a couple of days in Big Sur, hitching my way from Carmel Valley and Monterrey. An unforgettable memory... 🌎🌞😎
