On May 31st, 2019, I took a trip to Antioch, CA and Oakley, CA. I visited Antioch City Marina, Dow Wetlands Preserve, Antioch/Oakley Regional Shoreline, and Big Break Regional Shoreline. The photos I took there are split into 2 blog posts. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

In this blog post, I have part 1 of my photos from the trip. The photos today are from Antioch City Marina and Dow Wetlands Preserve in Antioch, CA.

Message From The Photographer: If you've been following me on social media, you'd know I've been dealing with vision impairment and gradual vision loss since August 2018. The conditions are neurological, so my vision isn't impaired the same amount on a daily basis, but overall it seems to be going down hill. It has slowed down and made taking photos, processing photos, using computers, etc... very challenging and somewhat depressing. Some days it is impossible for me to take photos or process them. I know these photos are from a very long time ago, but I'm only just starting to get around in processing them as I'm only able to work on them at a very slow pace. I hope you can understand, and I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.
