Get a peek inside tomorrow night from 6 to 9 PM at 201 Cannery Row!

A new ‘night gallery’ on Cannery Row offers a deep dive into underwater photography.

Sometimes, Mondays are better in the abstract. Sage Ono makes the every day beautiful and inspiring. Check out more of his work in the collection below.

Golden Slumbers by Sage Ono – Abstract Light Through Kelp — Bradley Photographic: Print Services, Workshops Golden Slumbers by Sage Ono presents a serene, abstract view of sunlit kelp blades, evoking calm and dreamlike stillness in the ocean.

One year we had an invasion of sea nettles so thick you could barely see the surface. Local photographer Michelle Manson got caught in the thick of it!

Jellyfish Smack by Michelle Manson – Sea Nettles in Motion — Bradley Photographic: Print Services, Workshops A radiant cluster of jellyfish pulses through golden water — Michelle Manson captures the mesmerizing movement of a smack in full bloom.

Erebus by Eric Wahl – Underwater Shadows in Black and White — Bradley Photographic: Print Services, Workshops Eric Wahl’s “Erebus” explores shadow, light, and camouflage in black and white, revealing a hidden world beneath kelp forests through abstract tonality.

Sometimes we even get blue water! Our dear friend Joe Platko has several images in the current collection, check them all out below!

Kelp Forest Abstract “Blue Balls” by Joe Platko — Bradley Photographic: Print Services, Workshops Joe Platko’s underwater photograph "Blue Balls" features twisting kelp and marine textures in striking blue tones, captured below the ocean’s surface.

Whatever your weekend brings, may it be as delightful as Bruce Sudweeks' image of translucent jellies in the kelp.

Monterey boasts such a varied collection of life. Invasions of many kinds of jellies, tuna crabs, sunfish, sea lions, squid, and so much more. Much of it is fleeting and you have to be there to experience it. Bruce is in the water a lot, and we're lucky he's a great photographer!

Jellies on Ice by Bruce Sudweeks – Kelp and Jellyfish in Cold Water — Bradley Photographic: Print Services, Workshops Golden kelp and translucent jellies drift through icy blue water — Bruce Sudweeks captures this crisp, radiant underwater moment.

Happy Friday from above and below ol' Cannery Row!
