In Monterey, California, along the waterfront there is a bench dedicated to Forrest Gump with his suitcase, and philosophical box of chocolates. and his famous line, “I’m Forrest Gump, People call me Forrest Gump” A nostalgic moment
Just a retired old guy who loves looking for an eclectic mix of subjects to photograph, from people, to places, to concepts, and enjoys all aspects of the hunt, the find, and the shot, plus dabbling in the post production.
