The Evolution of Carmel Mission Inn
We first started to work with the Carmel Mission Inn team in May of 2011 and started a long history of photographing the hotel. About once a year we stayed at the hotel and took new photographs. Over the years our library of photographs and videos expanded out to become a documentary of the constantly evolving presentation of the hotel.

Carmel… God’s Home Of Golf
Having played golf courses all over the world, many people have asked me what my favorite place to play is. In a simple answer, Pebble Beach is always first on my list. The problem with Pebble Beach is that it cost about $500.00 to play the course. I would highly recommend that every golfer do it one time. If you don’t have the financial resources, there are other options that are much more affordable in that area.
Carmel Mission: Central Coast Gem
I have lived in the Carmel area for ten years, and I have to say that I had never been to the Carmel Mission. After hearing that Pope Francis will be canonizing Father Junipero Serra, I thought to myself maybe now is a good time to go. The Carmel Mission Basilica is just a three minute door-to-door drive from the Carmel Mission Inn.
Point Lobos State Reserve – Whalers Cabin
For over a hundred and sixty years, “the shack” has stood the test of time against the elements. This shack, now known as the Whalers Cabin, overlooks Whalers Cove and Carmel Bay in the Point Lobos State Reserve. The Whalers Cabin survived the rise and fall of the whaling industry and has been preserved as a cultural museum.
Dive into the Wonders of Point Lobos
Harbor seals and sea otters make great photo opportunities. Underwater, there are multicolored anemones, schools of fish and other reef dwelling creatures will capture your attention. As the diving areas are part of the Marine Reserve, divers don’t catch anything but beautiful sights.
Hiking in Paradise
Point Lobos State Reserve is a hidden gem along the California Coast. Point Lobos can sometimes be overshadowed by the popularity of Big Sur, which is just a few miles further south along Highway 1. Boasting a rich wildlife and beautiful landscape, Point Lobos is an excellent destination for hiking.
