This is not only a cliché shot, it’s become a cliché within my library of vacation snaps. But what are you going to do? Sand dunes, fences and shadows demand to be photographed!





I’ve started work on a major project about Elizabeth, New Jersey. It will be some time before it’s done and I can publish details. In the meantime you can expect to see here so images that I think are blogworthy but probably not going to be used in the final project selection.


I’ve posted a scene like this one most years I’ve been down the shore. this one has an interesting painterly quality deriving from the crummy mushy quality of the 2MP jpeg file.
Another beautiful image that is over saturated, over contrasty and over-sharpened. Don’t know what I was thinking but I still have a soft spot in my heart for this one. No doubt the source of the artist’s advice to “murder your darlings.”


I must also have discovered the saturation slider in Photoshop around this time.

Judging by the light, this one, and probably the jellyfish too, were shot later that afternoon.

Another mangled jpeg from that morning on the beach.

The 2MP Kodak was really a family camera. But one morning at the beach I woke up early and couldn’t get back to sleep. I took the camera down to the beach around dawn and re-awakened my dormant love of photography. You can see how crunchy the file is: 2 MP jpeg to start with and I probably sharpened the hell out of the original, not knowing any better.
