The pier thing

San Diego County is known for its piers. Fishing piers, docking piers, private piers.

I've photographed some of these piers in past, but never with an intensive effort to document them and the environments around them.

I've decided to make such an effort my next major photography plan.

So, at least for now, my thoughts are to photograph the following types of piers within San Diego County:

  • Public fishing piers
  • The major public docking piers on San Diego Bay:
    • the two cruise ship piers,
    • Navy pier,
    • and the Coronado Ferry Landing.
  • And at least one private pier: Scripps Pier, which is operated by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Access to that pier itself is restricted to the Institution, but the area underneath it is very picturesque and easily reached with a walk from La Jolla Shores beach.
I'm thinking to do this going from south to north, and so will be driving to the Imperial Beach Pier shortly.
