With a Little Help from my Friend.

Last week I shared several pictures taken while exploring a Baltimore beach. My wife took a liking to the picture on the left. Adding “I really like this one, but I think it would look better without the automobile.” With little to no experience in many Lightroom techniques. I handed it over to a good friend who can best be disguised as a “pro’s pro.” Personally, I’d consider my long time friend to be a magician of sorts. As he has blown my mind with his skills many times before. I posted a before and after just below. I’d love to get your feedback. Feel free to comment below. Thanks.

While some find their peace blending into a crowd. I find mine in the few moments of solitude I’m able to steal. No questions, demands or expectations. Just me, my camera, and all the time I need to compose my thoughts and actions.

Beach People

Beach People, Life is a Beach

Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of my trips to the beach. From my trips to Jones Beach with the Leddy’s (My unofficial godparents) in their shark fin Plymouth Fury to my public transit excursions to Rockaway Beach and Coney Island with my Mom. Toes in the Sand the Sun in my Face and my Feet in the Water. Not a bad way to spend the day, weekend or lifetime. As a rule, my camera comes with me everywhere I go. On occasion, I’ve been know to walk the beaches snapping shots of beach and it’s many people. This July 4th was one of those days. Below are a few shots from our sun soaked day at New Jersey’s Asbury Park.
