moon rock

half moon bay...again. feb 2011.

yeah... so i guess this isn't any kind of amazing photo, but i just really liked this rock and its many holes, and the little strands of grass strewn about, and the gentle black water cupping its side, sliding slowly past. and the shade of gray, so pale and perfect.

up and down and sideways

don't get dizzy looking at these.

light flowing up and in and out and down between the large cracks and the tiny triangles formed by one board against the other, bright and shadow, under your hand and around the corner. rough old weathered salt water air wood that helps you climb a small hill of sand and gives you a view of crashing water and rolling foam.

a fanning spread

a fanning spread of wavelets and ripples as sediment and sand wash out to sea.

still on half moon bay. i guess it gets old, posting a bunch of photos from one trip, slowly. and i probably end up posting photos that wouldn't make my list of all time favorites, due to a sometimes-shortage of truly dazzling material. but it still feels better to post something than nothing, and reminds me of how much i love photography in general--taking, looking at, reacting to. listening to the sound of a real, mechanical shutter. which reminds me, i need to get film, some day, for the old, top view mamiya my dad gave me a few years ago. such a large, weighty thing. it makes me feel old fashioned just to hold it, which i've come to realize is one of my favorite ways to feel.

old fashioned. now there's something to explore.
