If you could see my face, you could see me blushing. Thank you so much, my friend, words like yours make me happy and proud 😊
Our Summer was too short, if you ask me, but like you, I am waiting for the Autumn for its moody and misty mornings, and for the colors. I hope, I will find enough time this year to explore more than just the area around where I live.
Thank you so much for resteeming my post - I think, it matches perfect with your beach and sea photos ;)
So, what happens in Autumn at the sea, where you are? The beaches get empty, and only the real surfers stay, waiting for the big waves? The tourists leave and sometimes you have the beach for you alone?
You're so welcome! Right now i wish i was a good writer. In person it might be much easier for me to say this. You're photos are great! don't you know?
Haha, you see in person you could see my face and i could tell how this energy is going... i rarely write things because i can't see and hear all the subtle things. I must confess it's also a vanity of mine, wanting to be understood and not judged or be judgemental of anyone. Now i've gone too far and sound much to serious... ;)
You get out there and do it! it's wonderful !
Summer here has become a really bad time for me. I've made choices that led to me being totally broke and questioning all years making art and music and then photography. I've had no car and no friends. Ohhh boy... it's a dreary tale and not uplifting to write about. I haven't traveled anywhere in so long i can't even imagine being able to. I had to start shooting all the details and abstractions as a way to create in spite of the limitations i created with money. It's been amazing in a sense even with zero income or anything beyond the doing of it for me. This place has hot summer that drags on for ever it seems. It's really crowded. Winter cools down and the waves can get good at the beach close to me. It's much less hectic then.
The crazy part of all this - well it's all crazy but - there are mountains here 2 or 3 hours drive away! I can see them everyday that it's clear. There are amazing wonders in California. Giant redwood trees. Deserts that look like Mars or the moon. Green valleys and farms. I have no photos from when i visited these places years ago. There are coastlines up north that are breathtaking, places like Big Sur and Monterrey. The area where i live is just about the dullest place in the state. So, messed up by choosing not to make my way out it.
I don't judge anybody for his or her look or color or how or where they live etc, as long as this person is honest, and man, I think, you have ashamed me.
I'm not broke, but I have been, although I have always had a work. I have had a safe job since I was 20, but I have spent more than I earned. This was before I met my wife and is long forgotten. I still spend too much, but I can handle it - I have to handle it, because I have a family with 17 years old twins ;)
You have told me some heavy stuff, and it's not easy for me to reply. Of course I feel sorry for you, and I wished I could find the right words.
There's always the risk to lose when you are an artist, but believe me, if I was alone I would have quitt my job many years ago to become a photographer ... I wanted to, but then I have met my wife, stopped photographing when the children arrived (apart from family photos and so) and began to photograph again last year ;)
Then I have found Steemit and now I am a part of a wonderful community with many great people.
I have been really impressed by your beach photos and the waves, but I have already told you that. The detail shots are great too. I have thought, that you must be a very lucky man, living near the beach and being there every day. Now I know better, but somehow I still envy you ;)
Sometimes you are lucky (like me, when I met my wife), and sometimes you make the wrong decision (which I might have made if I had not met my wife), although you think, it is right.
I don't need to know, what went wrong, because it's too late to make changes in the past, but I think, you are on a good way, by being on Steemit, showing us your life. Maybe you get a chance somehow to drive to the mountains or the other places - I would love to see a mountain photo from you one day :)
I do hope for you, that the hectic on the beach will be over soon, that it cools down a bit and that the big waves come, so that we are able to see them on your beautiful photos.
I know, the above will be weird to read, because I just wrote down, what came into my mind, after reading your comment.
You are so right, that it would be easier to talk face to face, and I would honestly prefer to talk that way.
I love fog and am looking forward to the Autumn. Thank you so much, that you like the photos, Ross 😀

I love all your photos. They are things i don't get to see here. I'm really wishing it was fall here. Summer is too long here

I really dragged this down and i'm sorry.
You photos and work are GREAT
