We had come to the Bay Area for an annual report shoot. My client, Administaff (now called Insperity), wanted to photograph at one of their clients' facilities—a little outfit called Netflix.
Yes, back in the day when they had armies of workers packing and unpacking DVDs that were mailed to subscribers. It seems like ancient history now.
We were in the Pebble Beach area and had dinner reservations at a very nice restaurant my client was familiar with, but we had some time to kill, so we did a little sightseeing.
I have no idea exactly where this location was; my client was driving, and I was looking. I do know we were not far from the famous Cypress Tree, at least within a short driving distance. I just remember being thrilled by the early evening light, the varied cloud formations in the sky, and the warmth of the sun enveloping the rocks along the coast, juxtaposed against the blue of the ocean and distant hills. And I couldn't have been luckier with that lone bird flying right through the scene. Perfect!
