Press Release:
Oceanside, CA (June 25, 2012) – Aaron Checkwood will release My Oceanside, a limited edition book and accompanying photo exhibit at the California Surf Museum in Oceanside on Friday, June 29 from 7pm -10 pm. The opening reception will feature framed imagery from the book, select hand-screened posters and a limited number of signed books for guests to purchase.
Focusing on a collection of photos showcasing life in Oceanside, Aaron deems this a tribute to a city whose people and landscapes are as diverse as the cultures that make it special.
“The exhibit is just a snippet of the daily life of a vibrant, eclectic area that stands as the last bastion between San Diego County and the rest of the world,” said Aaron.
The My Oceanside exhibit will run through September 4 with proceeds from the opening party to benefit the California Surf Museum. The event is proudly sponsored by Oceanside businesses Brixton, Raen, Chemistry Surfboards and TransWorld SURF magazine.
About Aaron Checkwood
With two parents living in two completely different areas of California as a child, Aaron Checkwood spent his younger years going to school in Northern California and his summers in Oceanside with his dad. He eventually moved back as a teenager, graduated from El Camino High School and has used Oceanside as his home base ever since.
