vanx said...: Back by assignment. But I have a thing for Hemingway. I hereby step aside for others.
Have a great weekend!; 1:46 PM, March 03, 2006

utenzi said...: Michele sent me to see your ode to Hemingway. It's a lovely picture, Carmi.

I finally decided on a camera. Sorta. But I'm going cheap and getting a Canon 12X optical zoom. Either the IIs that's being phased out or the IIIS that comes out in April. *sigh* No dSLR for me, Carmi.; 4:16 PM, March 03, 2006
Annie said...: This image makes me wonder...

Is it a daily ritual for him to come and sit amid the sand and salt of the sea? Is he reminiscing as he gazes out to the horizon?

I enjoyed my visit. Thankyou.

Sandy said...: I'm jealous of the old gent. I wish it were just a bit warmer around here so I could mimic his serenity.

Thanks for the reminder that days like this aren't too far off in the grand scheme of things.; 5:55 PM, March 03, 2006

Joe said...: I love sitting on the beach and just smelling the salt air, listening to the sounds of the waves crash and looking out into the blue ocean. Very relaxing. Great pic!

carmilevy said...: Thanks, everyone, for your thoughtful comments on this pic. Some random thoughts...

JESSICA: I took this image in Florida a couple of months back during our family vacation there. I'm back in winter's grip in Ontario. Thankfully, the kids love playing in the snow.

UTENZI: I often think of Ansel Adams when I dream about future cameras. His best work came from a simple box camera. I think your images will stand out no matter what you shoot with.

ANNIE: Good questions all. I'll never know: I never asked him and, as far as this man knows, I was never there. I saw him sitting there, and shot quickly and quietly before moving on.

KENJU: LOL. I know I'm not that old. I was simply betraying my long-held adoration of all things Hemingway. Somewhere between his work and Fitzgerald's, my love of literature was born.

MARGALIT: A total stranger. Although I've taken similarly poignant images of my father, I haven't had the courage thus far to share them here. I wrestle with this every time I choose to point my pen or my lens toward a member of my family.; 9:42 PM, March 03, 2006

Tasha said...: Hey! Haven't been by in awhile! I wish I was right there with that old man! Here from Michelle's:); 11:28 PM, March 03, 2006
Lisa said...: I wish I was in that picture at this very moment. Michele sent me today.; 11:59 PM, March 03, 2006
srp said...: I love the blue green color of the ocean at this point. It doesn't often have the right light to look this way in Virginia Beach, probably has something to do with the sloping ocean bottom here.
Here again from Michele.; 12:24 AM, March 04, 2006
