Beach Combing

 What is it about the seaside that renders architects whimsical and nautical?


Here a smile and an eye, and.....


lo and behold a complete ship!


Here is the Atlantic from high up


and more of the same.



How we must study the water on cool days and warm ones. This was a pretty chilly day. The young man on the right was a champions surfer who had broken his nose twice. What did your mother say? I asked. He just smiled.



How mesmerizing the water


paddling out



or merely watching


getting one's feet wet


and looking at the bright colors of wet stones.


Looking for shells


and little plants.



Abandoned structures loom through the mist


Then, finally, sunset on the water.



ps. I'm teaching a workshop called "The Need To Tell Stories" all weekend with Seth Apter and Roxanne Evans Stout at Little Bird Studios in New York. It should be fun....
