Foggy Newport
September 12th, 2004 byAfter four days feeling pretty damn sick and totally unable to sleep due to a certain amount of early morning construction being performed about 10 feet from my bed, I managed to get myself out of the house and out to the coast with my dad for a half-day of shooting. Might have been a longer trip but he had a tweaked foot from something earlier in the week. After his shift at the aquarium he wasn’t up for much tromping around the beaches while I shot seaweed and birds.
Even so, it was a good day. I probably wasn’t up for a full day shooting because of my cold. I got lucky with good light and enough inner-calm to see a few images in the things around me. I photographed the bridge, a common tourist subject, finding shapes and form that really have nothing to do with the bridge itself. It felt good. I felt like my eyes were open. I wandered around and shot a few other subjects as well, having the same open-eye sense as I shot a few hundred frame.
Unfortunately, my friggin’ CCD was hella dirty so it’s going to be a few hours here before I can post any of the images. Much cleaning to be done.
