Classic California: Santa Cruz Beach in Bloomington, MN

Memory comes in waves of image, sounds, tastes, smells, and feelings. One of my fondest childhood memories is of walking to the playground of the elementary school I attended with my Pappers; my paternal grandfather, Joseph J. Funyak. Pappers has Alzheimers disease and now lives in a shifting web of memory. In this photo essay, shot on an early September day, I thought of my Pappers as I took a nice slow stroll along the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and Wharf in Santa Cruz, California.
Always,
Larissa
