On a really muggy day, a restless mind can drift back to better times...
I was shooting alone, without the usual suspects, on this deserted stretch of sand where the weather was warm, the sky was blue, and the sea was green. There I found a row of empty chairs under a cool shade, all looking out to an emerald sea. And what a scene it was. You see, that's the thing about photography. When you stumble onto a scene you don't want to forget, you can freeze the moment, and save it for the future. Forever. Enjoy.
(Pixel-peepers: You can wait until your composition is just right, but think about the other moments you'll miss while waiting. I usually try several shots from different vantage points, but find that I often return to the very first one I took. Does that prove a photographer can only see what he wants to see?)
