I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN LUIS OBISPO
Here's a 10 minute film I made to document my 2 day roadtrip down the pacific coast highway. Everyone told me how great and spectacular the drive was going to be, but there is no greater proof than to actually do it. You have to see it to believe it and you have to drive it to experience it. These pictures don't do it justice (but I tried). All the shots were taken using my Canon PowerShot SD110 digital camera. The trip was an incredible experience and there is nothing more cathartic than a long road trip along the coast. I hope you'll enjoy the film as much as I enjoyed the trip.
