.coast

 

09.04.10

So I am pretty much failing at keeping this sucker updated, but no one seems to care…well except for maybe Miss. LL yes you know who you are!

To appease LL I shall finally put up some pics.
The coast… oh the Oregon coast. I haven’t been there just to enjoy the beach in awhile…actually ever since i picked up photography i have never been able to fully enjoy the coast. I worry about sand and sea water hitting my lens (which reminds me i need to clean my lens to make sure the sea water does not do vile things to my UV filter) for this reason i cannot bury my feet in the sand, take off my shirt and show off my beach bod, or build sand castles. Tis a fair trade off though when i find fun things to photograph. I find it harder to take candid photographs for 2 reasons. 1) i no haz L-lens so i cannot be at a distance to take said shots. 2) I am a guy. Why is the latter a factor? I will tell you. You see a girl taking pictures of kids and random happenings you think naught of it…but when you see a guy do the same your head screams “CREEPER!” Now i dont know about you but i prefer my face sans purse/fist.

You Oregonians are most familiar with this household name. If you have visited the Oregon coast you know what im talking about.

  2. josh, found the blog to be quite enjoyable. i do need to agree with lisa, when it comes to kids, its almost impossible to get the pictures taken except you wear a vest that says journalist/reporter from NY Times. other than that, so far,great images. pls upload more.

  4. The man holding the baby reminds me of the painting of Saturn eating his children.
