190 | Ocean Beach

1985 | Ocean Beach, San Diego County


I have lived in coastal California for seventy-two of my seventy-four years, so it’s probably not an exaggeration to claim that I have seen millions of waves.

This picture has been sticking to my hand for years; I have tried to toss it away as ‘ordinary’ but it stays around in my stacks. All I can do at this time is post it and see what it looks like in the context of the other work on this blog.

I visit this place often, but have not seen this old friend ever again; it shows special character as it takes in the light and gives up its power on the shore.
