6 days until the show

Just browsing through some images captured while on a trip to Boston, we (host-Doug, Anders and I) took a day trip to Plum Island, Massachusetts ( a small barrier island just off the extreme northeast coast of Massachusetts)

The beach was very beautiful from the car yet the photographic elements that lured me out of the warm and dry comforts with my camera was the muted blues in the skies and the seas along with the course brown grains of sands. I was cold yet I am happy that I did. It was a short term inconvenience for the long term memory with good friends.

On this day it was cold and dank with periodic rain that eventually turned torrential. Unfortunately for the residents on this island it created flooded roads, beach erosion and a few house lost to this erosion.

tip

While photographing during cold and wet weather, dress warmly 

and protect yourself and your equipment from these elements. 

If you know in advance of the weather conditions, bring all related gear  

and error on the side of having rather that not having what you need.

"Be inspired by what inspired you initially" Darnell Bates

Every now and again you should go back to 

the moment (in my case photographic images) 

that inspired you to pursue that in which makes

you happy.

------------------------------------

The image above was taken some where along the Bonneville Salt Flats many many years ago as my olde roommate (Steve) and I drove from Oakland to Cleveland. The purpose of the trip was to spend time with him before he departed for an extended stay in Ghana. We laugh and had the greatest time on this trip. After capturing this image, it changed the way I thought about my photography and challenged me to capture the feeling and moment along with the image. This was the photograph that made me happy, made me think of calm and relaxing times, and eventually made me enroll into a photography program.
