Looking through batches of photos from Ocean Beach and outings with my kids reminds me of the adventures from my youth. The pure moments of ecstasy when we were all focused on the fun and ignored the passage of time. I still experience these moments with my kids on a daily basis and spend most of our time together outdoors.

Escape is not only literal but mental for my kids in this photo. Like all kids, my children escape into a world of sensation and fantasy when they play. This photo depicts the incoming tide which is a symbol of time moving closer and closer. To escape from reality is to envision the spirit of adventure.......to embody our youth and embark.

This was a difficult piece to narrow down due to the scope of the shots I searched. My kids are so active and have so many examples of this theme that surface throughout my photography. It brought me closer to the them and was a recap of all the joyous times we have shared as a family together.
