I used to live in the Santa Cruz area. It’s a special place like no other I’ve lived in nor been to. It is so full of life, people who are unafraid to be true to themselves, artistic and creative people. Unique and eccentric people.

The kind of people I love.

I have been blessed to come back here every summer for the past nine years for two to four months. This video was made in 2006, the first year I returned, after moving away in 2003.

This is where my spirit resides.

This is where a big piece of my heart stays, and where I will return again and again for as long as I am able.
