*SWIPE to see full frame* Was fortunate to get the surfer crossing the pier when I was shooting the sunset shots. Haas to time it where he was separated from the pier lines.

Letting the tripod get covered in water. Loved how the ripples in the water shaped the pier columns. Got super fortunate with a beautiful sunset at Scripps Pier. It was Super Bowl Sunday so the beach was a lot less crowded! Let me know if your interested in a print! 📷 @canonusa EOSR and 24-70RF #shotwithcanon #socal #socality #socalphotographer #socalphotography #landscape #landscape_perfection #landescapephotography #landscapelovers #seascape #seascapephotography #seascape_lovers #sunset #sunsetphotography #sunsetlovers #sunsetporn #sunsetlover #sandiego #sandiego_ca #sandiegolife #sandiegophotography #sandiegophotographer #beach #beachvibes #beachlife #eosr #shotoncanon #lajolla #lajollashores #scrippspier (at Scripps Pier) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGBuoFpzTk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I shouldn't be surprised that people are sharing AI-generated images and videos of the ongoing fires in and around LA. How fucked.

As I mentioned in my recent reblog, please remind people around you not to spread misinformation. Get your updates from Watch Duty or CAL FIRE. I also find national sources to be lacking, so I'd recommend checking local sources like LAist instead.

@archaiclumina also shared an article from ABC News Australia breaking down SoCal weather events like the Santa Ana winds, the increasingly devastating wildfires, and the role climate change has played.

Thankfully, the current admin has approved FEMA assistance already, as the other side is busy attacking a lesbian fire chief, Crowley, and the state governor, Newsom.

Don't be misled. We are here because of greed, and the billionaires who hoard basic resources will see the world burn and all of us bled dry before they develop an ounce of goodwill (see: the Resnicks, wealthiest farmers in the US). No matter which billionaire is yapping or what they're saying, do not forget that billionaires are not on our side.

Demand more from the wealthy. Demand more from the government.

If you all know anyone who is in need of resources because of the ongoing fires, please check out Mutual Aid LA Network or @/mutualaidla on socials.

The official COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES website also has lists of shelters for people and animals, as well as important alerts.

For folks who'd like to donate money, consider the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.

In times of crisis, we can only truly rely on each other.
