A Walk on the Beach

A man and his little daughter at Madras Beach

As I wrote in last Wednesday's post, there are rare times in a photographer's life when one seems to enter an almost magical time and place where wonderful pictures are on every hand, like low-hanging fruit just waiting to be picked. 

As I was watching and photographing the fishermen launching their boats from the beach at Madras, a man and his little daughter came walking along, playing in the edge of the surf and picking up shells in graceful movements. I made many pictures of them, but these are the only two I've scanned so far. The rest are in storage along with most of my film photographs. I wish I could show them all to you. 

Maybe someday I'll get back to scanning more of my film photos. I shot film for 35 years and have been photographing digitally for only 19 years. I think much of my best work is on film.
