In Sight

I ventured out today for an enterprise photo and ended up at Cummings Beach.  Every photographer has their own “go to” place for enterprise and my compass seems to always point to the beach.  Witnessing only one or two walkers I was forced to make due with the little details.  Funny how you never notice these things when the beach is crowded with sunbathers.  Countdown to summer: 117 days.

Fellow photographer Chris Preovolos has scolded me for not keeping up with my In Sight posts so I have made a promise to him that I will pick up the pace.  One of many promises I have made to CP over the years…I promise I will keep this one.

Another year at the Westminster. It’s crazy down there, I love this assignment.

Another day of school closings, no high school sports and snow enterprise.  Despite having multiple snowstorms this winter, today felt different.  The snow hung on the trees in the dense woods at Waveny Park and provided beautiful photo opportunities at every turn.  I was going for the straight landscape scene but lucked out as this skier glided by.

Emanuel Lai was in full rock-star mode as he and fellow classmates performed a traditional Chinese song during the dragon dance.

I don’t imagine air guitar is a staple any other Chinese New Year festivals, but I certainly got pretty good laugh out of it.
