Fragments #1

My newest journal for memory keeping is titled "Fragments". In it, I try to capture moments, thoughts, snippets of my life. I think I will post some of the photos here that I'm including in the book, and perhaps some that aren't being printed. So here is the first:

abandoned

I love going to the beach after school starts and the crowds are gone. Last week I went down around 8am. There were walkers and surfers and me with my camera. There is something about lifeguard stations that have closed for the season that appeals to me. While they have been "abandoned", it is temporary.

Playing tourist

I took my camera (named Lulu) downtown Huntington Beach the other day. With my camera around my neck, I played tourist. No one asked but I could see the question ... where is she from?

Main Street is a mix of old and new, mainly dedicated to surfers and the surfing industry. 

At the end of Main Street is the pier. So much fun watching these surfers enjoy catching the waves. It's a lot of fun playing tourist in your hometown.
