After several decades of collecting photographs of Aptos subjects, Ron S. Nolan has published Seacliff Chronicles in two volumes.
Packed with over 200 original color photographs taken from the mid-90s to the present, this is an ongoing effort to document the dynamic nature of Seacliff Beach, its surrounding seas and the ballet of clouds dancing in the sky.
“The cliffs at the edge have suffered carnage that will never completely heal,” Nolan said, “but the seagulls and pelicans continue their daily commutes; diving for prey and then returning to their nests on the broken bow of the cement ship, somehow telling their offspring how things used to be, but not forgotten.”
Nolan has lived in Seacliff since 1994.
Seacliff Chronicles is available at Amazon and Bookshop Santa Cruz. The price of “Seacliff Chronicles: Beauty in the Sky and Sea” is $27.97. “Seacliff Chronicles: A New Beginning” costs $27.47.
