Ken aka "The Flash"
Mission Beach and Pacific Beaches most popular beach resident!
What can I say...Ken, also known by many as "Flash" is one of the most popular residents in the Pacific Beach and Mission Beach area.
For over 20 years Ken has been getting dressed up in his one of a kind outfits and cruising down the Mission Beach and Pacific Beach boardwalk areas.
Ken is the one personality that has transcended the beach area as a local Icon and now is looked to for great photos by locals and tourists alike.
Ken is one of the most mellow and nicest people I have ever met. He alsways stops now when he see's me so I can get the latest shot documented in my body of photo work and he is equally nice to tourists and kids.
Every beach has their unique personalities and landmarks and for Mission Beach and Pacific Beach, Ken is very well known.
It was not until last week when I was asked for some photos of Ken that I realized how many shots I have gotten over the past few years.
Here are some of the my favorite shots.......
If you see Ken sometime on the boardwalk say "hello" and ask him for a photo.
Ken has been doing this longer than I have lived here, which is over 20 years and he is still going strong giving Mission Beach a small taste of The Venice Beach like up in L.A.
This is a page that gives tribute to the long and eccentric career of San Diego's most unique and well known beach personalities
