June 5/6 - Photo Exhibit by Chris Burkard

La Perla Del Mar is hosting "Unearth", a photo exhibit by Chris Burkard on June 5-6.



In a discipline where precociousness is a rarity, Chris Burkard stands out. The twenty-year-old has been shooting for only two years, but already has demonstrated a singular talent for composition and lighting. In fact, a Burkard photo is almost instantly recognizable as such. "I've always been artistically inclined," said Chris, "and photography is such an expressive medium, it's perfect. I aim to document a place and time." That "place" has been predominantly the rough-hewn central coast of California surrounding his Pismo Beach home, where he got his start with an old Pentax bought at a Goodwill auction. "It taught me about light," Chris laughed. Though a relative newcomer to surf photography, Chris cites the late iconic Ron Stoner as an influence.
