Now calling OB Photographers...

OB PHOTOGRAPHERS: FILL THIS SPACE!!

WAVES: the Sound of Ocean Beach, Volume 1 will officially release at the 30th Annual OB Street Fair and Chili Cook-off Saturday, June 27th.

A collection of songs about OB by OB musicians (including Bad Science Fiction, Go Man Go Kids, and John Miller and the Paybacks) now seeks PHOTOS of OB by OB photographers.

Send us your BEST image(s) of OB for a chance to feature on the FIRST volume's cover! (No more than 5 please.)

Important: part of being a good photographer is the ability to edit your work. In cases like this, “less is more”. We would rather receive one very strong image, than 5 mediocre ones. (And NO vacation photos!)

Also Important: images will print SMALL (at most, 2 inches on the longest side) so be sure your image(s) makes sense at a thumbnail size. Big, beautiful landscapes or anything that requires large print size won't work for this project.

If you would like to donate an image for credit to this community-wide collaboration, please submit ASAP to info@oceanbeachsandiego.com.

Thank you, and good luck!!

Mayor Sanders speaks @ the OB Library

Mayor Jerry Sanders held a press conference today outside the Ocean Beach branch of the San Diego library to announce his decision to cut City employee salaries in favor of keeping libraries and other public services open.

"When I rode in the parade last December the community of Ocean Beach shouted 'Save our Library!'" said Sanders. "Well, I heard you loud and clear....of all the difficult decisions to make this one was easy."

Community members cheered at Sander's announcement, and many vowed their support in the upcoming the battle over the City's budget.

"It's not over yet", said Councilman Kevin Faulconer in his speech following the mayor's, "but it's a good day for Ocean Beach."
