Sea Side Dreaming

A few frames of my friend Linnea. We went out and played at the beach for an evening. Taking these types of photos that have a more whimsical theme is different for me; I usually gravitate toward more adventure type photo shoots, but this was a fun exercise to play with poetry and more feminine beauty. Ever since I've taken an interest in video, I've become a lot more inspired by poetry. Gaining a sensitivity toward that is something I never expected to happen, but I'm so glad it did. My friend Sarah Vande Kamp has been in front of my camera a lot in the last year and this time I had her read aloud one of her poems. I love her voice and the way she writes. I look forward to using her work more. Click here if you want to check out more of her writing.
