Welcome to CaLights
My name is Kent Weymouth, and I have been a Video Producer and Digital Artist for ten years. In 2003 I began traveling throughout California, discovering the wonderful lighthouses that grace our shore. I quickly discovered the rich history, impressive structures and courageous individuals of that era calling out to be rediscovered. I began visiting all of the existing lighthouse structures in California, photographing them with the cooperation of the United States Coast Guard, National Parks, State Parks, City Parks, Historical Societies and Preservation Societies. After five years of research at California's Libraries, Museums, Historical Societies, and most importantly the United States Lighthouse Society, I have finished my book "Lighthouses of the Golden State". My greatest desire has been to give you accurate information gleaned from official documents, annual reports, personal letters and diaries. You can purchase my book on-line by clicking here. To compliment "Lighthouses of the Golden State", I have created CaLights to provide you with more current information, photographs and links. I have built this website personally and will do my best to keep it updated and current. My fine art photography of California's Lighthouses, National Parks, State Parks, County and City Parks, Historical Locations and Points of Interest can be found at my other website www.thecanvasdigital.com
