Shadows and light. All right.

I could spend hours staring out at the sea. It's just good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos throughout.
ReplyDeleteHere via Michele's.
Back by assignment. But I have a thing for Hemingway. I hereby step aside for others.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I would love to be gazing out over the water... but I have a feeling that it wouldn't take long for frost bite to set in :(
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me to see your ode to Hemingway. It's a lovely picture, Carmi.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
This image makes me wonder...
ReplyDeleteIs 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.

Great pic, Carmi, but give me a break - you ARE NOT old!!
ReplyDeleteIt says so much.
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me.
I'm jealous of the old gent. I wish it were just a bit warmer around here so I could mimic his serenity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that days like this aren't too far off in the grand scheme of things.
NICE ASS!!!
ReplyDelete;)
I sent me.
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!
ReplyDeleteHere via Michele.
Is that your dad? Nice contrast of light and dark. YOu're such a good beach photographer!
ReplyDeleteHere from that Michele person.

ReplyDeleteand in so many ways........
watching the years come and go
as the waves come and go
Thanks, everyone, for your thoughtful comments on this pic. Some random thoughts...
ReplyDeleteJESSICA: 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.
The Old Man and the Sea is one of my favorite books. I'm so glad I stopped in today.
ReplyDeleteold bones
ReplyDeletesoaking in the warmth

Ha! Shane took the bus......I came via Michele's helicopter.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture.
ReplyDeleteHere via Michele as always!
The angles of the ANGLES! Great Great Photograph, Carmi....Really special, in every way....
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!
Here from Michele tonight, my dear Carmi...
Hey! Haven't been by in awhile! I wish I was right there with that old man! Here from Michelle's:)
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in that picture at this very moment. Michele sent me today.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHere again from Michele.
As always, a GREAT picture, Carmi. I like your photography almost as much as your writing!
