If you haven’t listened to this beautiful human’s performance yesterday please go check out my IGTV. It’s an amazing thing to, spur of the moment, ask to borrow a guitar, get up on stage and just rock it like she did. Here’s a few images of the infinitely talented singing her second of 2 songs at .fest Sims Ave “Summer Camp” Block Party which she also organized over the past few months and managed all day yesterday. Bravo! Amazing job baby!

Sunset. Horseneck Beach, Westport, MA. March 29, 2021
Monday was one of the last days of the season that dogs were allowed on Horseneck Beach so Zane and I packed up my cameras and em”bark”ed on an adventure.
It was pretty warm but the wind was howling and the surf was up real good. I took this shot with a Nikon 80-400mm on my Sony A7rii laying at the water’s edge attempting to dodge the waves which I was only semi-successful at. No camera equipment was hurt in the making of this image but my knee and elbow got banged up good and if anyone else was crazy enough to be out there they would have had a good laugh watching me trying to stay dry making this image.
I really like the compressed layers in this one as well as the spray coming off the peaks. What do you think?
