October is feeling like a bit of summer here in the outer banks. Warm sunny days and cool starry nights. Fire going and the doors wide open. The best. Everybody is on the beach on bikes on the jogging path and on the big dune. New York last weekend with my book publishing class was so damned terrific and so is the quiet life now. Seems to me the intensity of city life and the serenity of beach life both travel at the speed of life light. Photos can’t stop time yet that’s always my motive. Making pictures can at least put you in the moment deeper than many methods of transcendental meditation. I can totally go to a new place when shooting sometimes if I’m in the right mood. It’s easy. Try too hard and it won’t work. The trick is to bust ass while relaxing. Photo tip #18 #nagshead#jockeysridgestatepark
