Not Surfing
I haven't posted for a few days. I don't have many more surfer portraits left, and I have not gone to that stretch of beach since the end of summer. I must go again and see what I can do. It seems a far-fetched fantasy now, somehow, a man with a camera walking up to strangers on a beach and asking to take their photograph. It is daunting.
I am afraid of ruining things by posting so many non-surfer images, but I have more of them by far, and some of the imagery is pretty good, I think. And so. . . .

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.
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.

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.
