Street Photography - Pacific Beach & Mission Beach

Join us for a street photography event in Pacific Beach & Mission Beach. We'll meet at 10:00am in front of the Crystal Pier, and we'll take the group photo. We'll plan to walk on the boardwalk towards the Giant Dipper Rollercoaster. We'll come back either on the boardwalk, or explore some of the back streets if the light looks interesting. You're welcome to stop along the way and take a different route, or do the whole walk.

Challenge:
The challenge this week will be Visual Puns! A visual pun is when two visual elements interact to create a new meaning.
It’s usually:

• Unexpected
• Slightly humorous or ironic
• Dependent on framing
• Often about alignment

Classic examples:

• A cloud that looks like it’s growing out of someone’s head
• A person’s shadow that completes a mural
• Real person + advertising figure interacting
• Pattern break inside repetition

A great example of a photographer who excels at Visual Puns is Peter Kool.

What to Bring:
Bring your favorite street photography gear and good walking shoes, hat, sunglasses, etc. A fixed 35 or 50mm lens or a medium zoom would work well.

Parking can be challenging, please plan accordingly. A number of paid parking lots are in the area, but I am usually lucky and find street parking which is free.
