Cloud Bomb

I was at 43rd Ave.N this morning doing another morning shoot and while walking back towards the dunes this large cloud that had been blocking the sun for most of the morning decided it was carrying enough water and started to rain. It looked like a bomb went off and about to turn into a mushroom cloud...which it never did of course. heh.  To get an idea of sheer monster size of that cloud look at the buildings up the coast in North Myrtle Beach at the left of the photo.

Have fun...

Wayward Surfer Girls

You gotta be dedicated - borderline hardcore surfer girls to get up early and drive all the way from Charlotte, NC to Myrtle Beach, SC to surf at 7:30AM. Except for when tropical storms and hurricane activity is close by, Myrtle Beach is not known for particularly large waves. You earn your surfboard ride here most all of the time! Just having fun has it's merits as well.

Been busy...

..this week. Here's a couple favorite of mine for the week.I have a few more to add when I get to them.

 Have fun.

Holga

 With the great majority of the cameras out there these days, they can, for the most part, faithfully reproduce what our eyes see. Then there's the Holga. The Holga, as I like to describe it, is a piece crap disguised as a camera. It is a glowing example of imperfection, but therein lies is beauty. It's the idiot savant of the photography world. What is so bad in the regular photography world makes the Holga shine. Light leaks..over the top lens vignetting..guesstimation focusing and the list goes on. Above all that, sometimes it's just plain magical.

   

Goofs...

...having fun.

Last one...

...shooting towards the sun for a while. There's grand dad, son, mom and dad. I like this one.


...enjoy. 

Another Day...

...at the beach. These girls were amazing with their athleticism and gymnastic talent.
