Santa Monica
So I thought I’d start the new blog off with something relatively new.
When my sister and brother-in-law visited in October, we went for a little visit to Santa Monica with our cameras. While we were on the Pier, there was a guy down on the beach below with a big bubble maker. All the kids were excited, so when I snapped this, I was really trying for something with the little girl and the bubbles. But while I was processing it, I saw the creepy hooded sweatshirt guy, and the picture became something completely unintended.
Hope you enjoy.

There is something haunting about this photo. The figure in the hood, although we can’t even see the face, alternately seems to be hopelessly somber and slightly menacing. The juxtaposition with the inquisitive little kid to the side and the big soap bubble further highlight this unknown quantity at the center of the frame. Whenever I look at it I can’t help but feel like something bad could happen at any moment. Great image, babe.
