Stories at the Seashore
From tiny mushrooms to the grand starry sky—presenting the stories of Point Reyes National Seashore.
Photographer Spotlight: Kumiko Iwashita
Photography first became part of Kumiko’s life when her father gifted her a film camera at age 12. During the pandemic, she began hiking the Bay Area’s many trails and became interested in wildlife photography. From photographing frogs at PRNSA’s volunteer events to river otters basking on the banks of Abbotts Lagoon, the practice of photography has taught Kumiko to look closer, slow down, and appreciate the quiet lives unfolding all around us. Through her images, she hopes to spark a sense of connection and responsibility to protect these animals.
