thanks again guys!
october in newport
october in orange county is awesome in its own way – the weather turns cooler and all of the tourists leave and the beach becomes ours again. the sunsets are amazing – the beach becomes a quieter and more peaceful place to be. life had gotten away from me and i had not been out to the beach to shoot in a while. i made it back out on oct 1 and got some of the best shots yet…
on any given afternoon i will shoot a couple hundred images and maybe like 1 in 50 – i am pretty critical in general and really critical of my own stuff but it was a really great day. my favorite is the first image below, i had been shooting some surfers and turned to peak down the beach at a father and his kids, i snapped off a few and thought little of it until i was reviewing all of the images the next day – i love the shot for technical reasons; light, comp, dof, etc – but the girl is really what wins me over. she must have been about 8 years old but in this brief moment she is strikingly mature with a presence that i cant put into words…

moments after this photo was taken my roommate began to climb a phone poll taunting spiderman “hey spiderman can you do this!?”
spiderman watched calmly as brandon climbed and after a long pause replied “dude…. i am way to drunk to do that.”
and the cries were heard from around the world as childhood dreams of so many were so carelessly torn away…
adventures on the high seas (or not)
