Creator Description: Hal Robert Myers makes fine art and editorial photography from his home in Laguna Beach, California. His work is on display in galleries throughout Southern California, and was recently featured in a solo show, entitled “22 Degrees Below,” that focused on life along the 22nd parallel. He was the First Place winner in the Islands 2009 annual photo contest for an image made in Jamaica, and he enjoys pursuing the “raw undercurrent of daily life,” which includes imagery that is both off the beaten path and tucked away from typical view.
