Pino Golja

Pino Golja was born in Sveti Martin near Labin / Albona, and today lives in the northern California wine country that is north of San Francisco. He is a high tech "slave" during the week and "gentleman rancher" during the weekend.

In this 2004 photograph he and his dog Anja [who passed away in 2007] are sitting on a rock at a spectacular beach near Bodega Bay where Hitchcock filmed “Birds”. This is also the place where Pino collects mussels every year when in season - November thru April.
