Found this image to be quite striking. No one looks at this blog so whatever, but in case you are…hello. This is an image I took all by myself. Most of the time that I am out in the ocean taking photos, I am completely alone. When I am out there by myself, I can be myself, and I usually start to question what the hell am I doing? Why did I drive an hour one way to the beach before the sun rose, why did I stand in the freezing parking lot and contort my body into all different positions trying to get this wetsuit over my aging body, why did I choose this lens instead of my other lens to shoot photos with, why is the front of my waterhousing where the lens looks through starting to fog up, why am I in the ocean feeling frustrated, why am I screaming in anger at the top of my lungs in the middle of the winter at 6am at the ocean for not sending me a beautiful wave to photograph while the lighting is perfect, why the hell am I wasting my time doing this? The only reason I do it, is because I have to, I don’t know what that means, but I gather that if you were to take everything I have away from me, I’d find my way back to the ocean and find a way to document it. In reality, no one cares and I suppose it brings me happiness knowing I can do it alone and do it for myself. I guess I’ll say, into the void of the internet and universe, enjoy the photo.
