Pictures & words by Ronald Crittenden

I take photos and make posters, and sell them. I currently exhibit with the Morro Bay Art Association, the Cayucos Art Association, and Seven Sisters Gallery in Morro Bay.

Most of my current imagery is inspired by the seaside life around my home on the central California coast: sea lions, otters, surfers, and the heart-stopping beauty of the littoral landscape.

I also have a large library of images from my travels abroad — everywhere from the cities and villages of Europe to the craggy heights and waterfalls of New Zealand.

Following are series of images related by subject and style, curated as virtual gallery shows, to provide a broader exploration of my sensibilities as a photographer and artist.
