On the back burner, I have a book of photos I've taken of Big Sur men over nearly half a century. It includes at least 75 residents from all walks of coastal life, and will have captions, vignettes, and depending on publisher needs, some short stories. It’s an exciting project, one that has been in the planning stages for many years. Here are some of the men to be included in this volume.
