Berkeley Students Day Trip 2008
Our Berkeley students are truly Beach Bums, and they have brought friends this time. On this day we do a tour down highway-1 stopping at several places: San Gregorio Beach, Pescadero Marsh, Shark's Tooth Beach and the lower San Lorenzo River. It was a whirlwind of spontaneous energy. The movie of this outing is available on our streaming website and is called Beach Bums!.

  The surf is beguiling yet there is something dangerous in its power. We mostly stay on the comfort of the sand.

Nomad's Notes

A 19-minute HD movie is available that covers this event on our new Nclub Movies Website. The seed of the idea for this trip was to take a group in just a few cars on a route where we would stop here and there and do guerrilla style naked shoots in various unexpected places, with the idea that we would leave quickly enough that there would not be time for anyone to complain. We didn't do quite that as I really don't want to offend the "clothed-minded" public. Except for the nature reserve, all the locations were relatively acceptable places for nudity And the nature reserve had absolutely no one else there. Except for the foggy weather it was a perfect day - a perfect bunch of great creative, inventive and energetic people. And actually it's quite nice to shoot on a beach with soft light. Harsh sunlight can be difficult to deal with photographically. I also shot video at the two beach locations on that day. I took everyone to a great Thai restaurant in Santa Cruz called Sabieng Thai Cuisine. And it was a long drive back to Berkeley to get everyone home - probably 2 hours, and another hour drive for me to get home. A very long day.
