Jason Harris, Laguna Beach, CA

Welcome to Orange County. “Here, you can go cougar hunting on just about every block,” say photographer Quinn Matthews, who recently fired this shot of Jason Harris deep in the OC’s heart. “You’re bound to come across some rich housewives tending to their gardens, or just rolling around with their Prada purse dogs. Tranquil palm trees, and multi million dollar homes with Ferraris and Lambos parked out front, are also common sights. But, in the midst of all that, there are plenty of little hidden gems that are under-appreciated from the living rooms of these mansions. If you can find your way into the right billionaire’s cove you can usually find some fun waves, like this one, with no one out. Sometimes it’s a bit of hunt to find the right little nook but the scenery along the way ain’t half bad.”
