The Swami’s Collection
Some images that I took over the last couple of month at Swami’s Beach in Encintas, CA. Swami’s is a very well known surf spot, but it is one of the lesser crowded beaches in San Diego. It’s a local spot and it is during the tourist season that there are people from around the the world visit Swami’s. This beach is on the top of my favorite beaches and looks very different during the low or high tides. At high tide, there is no way making it around the point and walk along the beach that leads to Moonlight beach in Encinitas.

Seaside Reef Collection

After Humans

Classic Sunset

Cardiff Sundown

After Hours

Sea of Glass
A few pictures of Seaside Reef in Cardiff by the Sea in the North County of San Diego. It’s a beautiful stretch of beach and is on the top of the list when it comes to my favorite San Diego Beaches. Some of these shots are long exposure shots, taken after the sunset. Many people don’t realize, that the best images can be captured after the Sunset if the conditions are right.

Christafari Live in San Diego (Slideshow)
Christafari performing in San Diego at the Harvest America Event, hosted by Maranatha Chapel.
Christafari are trailblazers, continually pioneering the genre of Gospel reggae in the U.S. and throughout the world.
With over a half million albums sold worldwide, Christafari is the top selling Gospel Reggae artist of all-time. After over two decades, the groundbreaking band is stronger than ever… making history in 2013 when their latest album, “Reggae Worship: A Roots Revival” (Lion of Zion Entertainment), hit #1 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.
But Christafari is more than a group of musical trailblazers. They consider themselves “Musicianaries” – using their unique blend of traditional roots and contemporary dancehall reggae to proclaim an uncompromising message of hope and salvation to this lost generation.
Christafari went back to their roots in 2012 with the release of their first worship album in nearly 20 years. On “Reggae Worship: A Roots Revival,” Christafari reworks classic hymns, reinterprets many of today’s top worship anthems and gives fans a handful of original worship songs that truly capture the band’s signature sound.
The unexpected result was that the band made history when “Reggae Worship: A Roots Revival” hit #1 on the Billboard Reggae Albums chart – the first time ever for a Christian project to top that chart. Speaking of the band’s chart success, Mark Mohr stated: “We care a lot more about hearts than charts. Our passion is for souls, not sales and we only do concerts as a way to make converts and fulfill the great commission.”
Christafari History
Christafari was founded in 1989 by songwriter, producer and lead vocalist, Mark Mohr. Raised in a Christian family, Mark strayed from his spiritual upbringing during his teens and turned to drugs and alcohol. After having an undeniable encounter with God at a youth camp just before his 18th birthday, Mark re-committed his life to Christ and took what he now calls his “Freedom Step” out of addiction. At that point, his greatest desire was to help others step out of the same bondage that once entangled him. He felt God leading him to start the first Gospel reggae band in America. It would be a counter-cult, drug aversion ministry that used the conscious sounds of reggae to bring the lost into the light. Two weeks later this fledgling band was birthed at a camp talent show.
While their name may just sound like a play on words, in Biblical Greek it stands for a group of people who bear or represent the name of Christ. “The best advice I was ever given was to go to Bible college so I could be theologically and doctrinally sound,” says Mark, who majored in Christian Education at BIOLA University. During his college years, Christafari continued to evolve as Mark wrote songs for Christafari’s first three albums, including “Valley of Decision” (Gotee) which went on to become the top-selling Gospel reggae album in the history of the genre.
In 1999, after recording two albums with Gotee Records under the tutelage of TobyMac, Mark branched out and founded his own record company, Lion of Zion Entertainment, with the goal of “Reaching the World through World Music.” With their broad distribution channels, Lion of Zion introduced the world to top-selling artists like Sherwin Gardner, Monty G, Stitchie, Mr. Lynx, ‘Imisi and three-time Marlin Award winner Avion Blackman (who is also Mark’s wife and the bassist for Christafari). Over the years, Lion of Zion has released more than 50 recordings and launched HYPERLINK “http://gospelreggae.com/”GospelReggae.com – the world’s largest online store for Gospel reggae and world music.
As a band, Christafari has brought their own unique brand of Gospel reggae to nearly every state in the U.S. and over 50 countries around the world. The band’s first major tour was 1995’s Reggae Sunsplash – North America’s premier reggae tour, traversing 46 cities and performing in front of more than a quarter of a million people. They have played at virtually every major festival and many of the country’s most prestigious venues like L.A.’s Greek Theater and Dodger Stadium. When Christafari played at Reggae on the River (the world’s largest mainstream reggae festival), Mark had the privilege of baptizing three new converts in the river.
Over the years the group has shared billing with nearly every major reggae artist including Aswad, Bunny Wailer, Lucky Dube, Big Mountain, Burning Spear, Pato Banton, Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor, The Wailing Souls, Capleton, Israel Vibration, Culture, Buju Banton and Wayne Wonder.
In Washington, D.C., on the steps of our nation’s Capitol, Christafari ministered to their largest audience to date – a crowd of over 500,000 people. Additional performance highlights included the 1997 Presidential Inaugural Ball, They played in the main amphitheater of the Olympic Village during the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and performed at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Christafari has been featured on The 700 Club, CNN Headline News, MTV News, MTV Brazil, ABC Family, TBN, JCTV, BET, TBS, Steel Roots, Greg Laurie’s Harvest much more.
Who would have expected that what started off as a simple performance at a church camp talent show back in 1989 would grow into a new genre (Gospel reggae) that now boasts over a thousand bands? And some 24 years later, Christafari has ministered on virtually every continent, hit the top of the secular charts and is going stronger than ever!

San Diego at Night
I took some pictures of Downtown San Diego from Coronado Island. It was about 9pm when I was taking these. It’s always a beautiful view of the City from across the bay. Many tourist come each year to take in this view.

Dreaming
I felt like I was dreaming this evening. Dreaming about a place where there is peace and happiness, love and not hate. A place where there is no pain and suffering.
In my dream, I was in a perfect world, in a world they way it was meant to be when God first created it.
Unfortunately, I had to go back into reality, into a world of violence, chaos and wars. Is this not something that everyone wants, a world where we can all live together without hate and violence?
Peace and Love has been pursued by mankind, but was never achieved.
The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life has kept us from living together in Harmony. That is not of God and we as fallen sinful man will never achieve what so many have tried and dreamed of; everlasting Peace.
Only Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World will bring everlasting peace, when He returns as King of kings and Lord of lords. Maranatha Lord Jesus.
“For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–is not of the Father but is of the world.” 1 John 2:16

Paradise Island

Swami’s Beach in Encinitas, California
It was another beautiful Sunset at Swami’s Beach. It was low tide at the time I took this shot. This is one of my favorite places along the San Diego Coastline. Swami’s is in Encinitas, CA which is in the North County of San Diego. It’s a laid back place and is not over crowded as some beaches. Truly as close to Paradise as one can get. http://sandiegovipsevents.wordpress.com/2013/07/17/top-surfing-spots-in-san-diego/

The Chronicles of Swamia
After many days of overcast along the San Diego Coastline, the weather finally changed into a more summer like climate. This picture was taken about 20 minutes after the sunset with a long shutter exposure.

Almost Eden
A beautiful sunset at Windansea Beach, just north of La Jolla, CA. It’s one of my favorite spots in San Diego. The beaches around Windansea are not so crowded as other beaches around San Diego.

Hotel Del Coronado
The famous Del opened in February 1888 and was declared a Historic Landmark in 1977. The Hotel was also the first with electricity, thanks to Thomas Edison.
Hollywood also used the Hotel in the movie “Some like it hot” with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. The Del Coronado has a very interesting and rich history. A must see when in San Diego.
There are two ways to visit Coronado Island. There is the Ferry that leaves from the Harbor in Downtown San Diego, or with the car, driving across the famous Coronado Bridge which was finished in 1969. People used to pay a fee when crossing the bridge. I can’t remember how much it was, either 50 or 75 cents. It may have been as much as a Dollar. The money was collected to pay for the bridge. Coronado is a beautiful place and has much to offer.

This area is called Windansea Beach, which is south of La Jolla, CA. known for its awesome surf and beautiful stretches of pristine beaches and clear turquoise looking water. A must go to place when visiting San Diego.

Supergirl Pro Contest Surf Action Pictures
These are some images from Sunday’s quarter finals, the semis and the final. The winner of the Supergirl Pro Surfing Contest was Malia Manuel from Hawaii. Second place went to Paige Hareb from New Zealand. There are a couple of other girls in this slide show, but I don’t know their names. The waves changed during the day, there were times with some real nice sets and other times when almost nothing happened. Nevertheless, the girls made the best of it. Overall it was great competition weekend.
