Classic Car Photo Op in Santa Cruz — Saturday June 25

I found this arti­cle in the San Fran­cis­co Chron­i­cle (orig­i­nal sto­ry is here) and it sounds like a good pho­to oppor­tu­ni­ty. Remem­ber to get shots from all angles, inside and out. I am sure the peo­ple (car own­ers and spec­ta­tors alike) may be just as inter­est­ing. And while you are there, stop by Steam­er Lane for great shots of actu­al surfers, next to the Surfer Muse­um at Light­house Field State Beach!

Here is a gallery of pho­tos from last year.

Surf wag­ons to haul in at San­ta Cruz Wharf

No toy sto­ry — these wood­ies are the real thing

Nev­er mind that San­ta Cruz lost the offi­cial “Surf City” moniker to a South­ern Cal­i­for­nia city (which shall go unnamed here) … its munic­i­pal pier is the place to chan­nel your inner Jan and Dean next week­end. The 15th Annu­al Wood­ies on the Wharf, North­ern Cal­i­for­ni­a’s largest show of clas­sic surf wag­ons, brings in 200 gnarly, pre-1952 wood-pan­eled cars, some from as far away as the East Coast and Cana­da, that cry out for a load of surf­boards. The day also offers clowns, free bal­loons and face paint­ing for kids, while music, col­lectible T‑shirts and prize draw­ings — and the wharf itself, with local surfers show­ing their chops in sur­round­ing waves — will appeal to all.

Vitals: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sat. Free. Munic­i­pal Wharf, San­ta Cruz. (831) 420‑5273, http://www.santacruzwharf.com/ or http://www.santacruzwoodies.com/.
