My intent was to photograph some building from the beach with my large format camera on Coronado Island in California. As luck would have it this bird walked into the frame. With a slight movement of the camera the image suddenly became about the bird not the buildings. As with life, sometimes unexpected things happen, and sometimes there good.

Playing In The Surf
This is an image I took of my friend Jason. He retains many child-like qualities I have lost - like playing in the surf in street clothes. I think this photograph is a little window into his soul. The weather throughout most of the week on the coast of North Carolina was rainy. For me it was a pleasant change from the ever-present blue sky you see day in and day out in Phoenix. It was late afternoon, the tide was coming in and the sky was clearing from a rain storm.
I learned you can take image after image on the beach when the waves are crashing in and every one will be significantly different from the one before.
