Do you recall the carefree days of childhood spent on sunlit beaches? In my photograph “Summer Haze,” I aimed to capture that nostalgic feeling. The Manhattan Beach Pier holds a special place in my heart as one of the first piers I ever photographed and framed.

During a summer adventure with my family, I brought my camera along to see how the pier had changed over the years. The challenge was capturing it without any people around, but with patience and perfect timing, I got the shot I envisioned.

The final image perfectly captures the vintage beach vibe of summers gone by—the sunlit pier framed by serene, sea-green waters, evoking memories of endless sunny days.
