On a Hill in Saugus

The final film set that we shot “A Marine Story” at was a house on top of a very steep hill in Saugus, a country-esque town about 30 miles north of Los Angeles. While the temperature got up to 108 C during the day, the sunsets were spectacular. For those who appreciate the effects of light on landscape, it is one of the most gorgeous views I’ve seen.

I love the way the details of the landscape- the trees’ shadows, the individual blades of dried grass shaking in the wind and begging travelers not to throw cigarettes- these details literally “popped” in front of our very eyes. It was a pleasure to tell my camera to attempt to capture the beauty as well.
