Certainly not taken this month..probably closer to 6 years ago. And not printed recently either...but the print is freshly scanned this evening.

My Boys at Shipwreak Beach
Scanned Carbon Print
4x10 negative, 300mm lens

The bit sticking out of the water on the far right is what is left of the wreck of the USS Milwaukee (C-21), hence the name the boys and I call this beach. The USS Milwaukee was trying to free a stranded sub when it got itself grounded, The sub was eventually hauled over the sand spit into Humboldt Bay and refloated, but the Milwaukee was doomed.

This was a morning photo, the sun in my boys faces as it burned off the fog. The beach is the closest one to our house, about 5 or so minutes away by car. The piece of driftwood the boys are on is still around...it moves a little up and down the beach and varies how much is above the sand -- depending on the seasons and the storms. The fact that we can see the bit of the wreckage means that it was probably around a -2 foot tide, give or take a half foot.

I'm not much of a portrait photographer, but I liked this photo of my niece from last weekend and thought I'd share.
She's always goofing around - wearing a huge smile, so I thought I'd try for a 'serious' portrait. I can still see a glimpse of that fun personality here. She was really interested in my cameras, and even mentioned joining me while I photographed in the woods.

The expression on her face is priceless. Great job!
