Here is a nice family of surfers. I had to cajole dad into being in the photograph, but I like the family of surfers theme.

Family of Surfers Redux
I am not making these photos fast enough to post one every day, though I'd like to. I get excited when I see them on the proof sheet and want to post them all right away. I need to make the trip over again this week.

Back to that Little Stretch of Beach
I went back to that little stretch of beach between the jetties and the big condo last week. The tide was high and cars were waiting, so we parked at the little county park and walked the long boardwalk for a mile or so. The beach was different then with no cars and only the occasional surfer. Later in the day, after the tide went down, the cars returned.

Not a Toy
The photos I took on Labor Day weekend were not made with the little toy Holga camera. You can tell the difference. The images are sharper and cropped tighter. The Holga has a slightly wider lens, so there is more space around the subjects. It is something to think about. I like the Mamiya 6 that I used here, but its images have a different feel. Somehow, though, I still manage to get light streaks on the film.
Right after I took this photograph, I thought that I knew one of the girls. Somehow. It is driving me crazy now looking at the photo. Where did I know her from? An unsettling mystery.

Winner
This fellow was coming out of the water after a heat in the surf competition on Labor Day. Another man who was taking his photograph was congratulating him. I think he won the heat, but I am not certain. If someone knows, please let me know. I didn't get his email address and he might like a copy of the photo.

Cocoa
This is the first scan from the photos I took Labor Day at Cocoa Beach. Everything is different in these photographs. I used a different camera, a good medium format, rather than the cheap Holga toy. You'll notice the difference in the beach, and there are people everywhere. I'll be working with these over the next few days, so that is what I'll be posting. OK.

Traffic
I put up this site because I had so many pictures and so many people, I couldn't keep track. I thought it would serve just that audience. But the site keeps getting more visitors every day. Seems some people have put it on their Facebook pages. I am not sure how others are finding it. Maybe friends tell friends. I don't know. But to all--Welcome.

Two Surfers
I put this photo up this morning, then came back to look at it later. When I did, I noticed the shadows cast by the two surfers. They make no sense falling in two directions the way they do. Two surfers, four shadows. I have to go back and see if this has happened in all the pictures.
Maybe this strip of beach is more special than I thought.

Labor Day
I went to a different beach yesterday for a surf competition. I took a different camera to see what the photos would look like. Somehow it didn't seem right to use my little Holga anywhere but that little strip of beach between the jetties and the giant condos. I'll have some images from the competition in about a week.
