{along the sea}

Come walk with me
Along the sea
Where dusk sits on the land
And search with me
For shells are free,
And treasures hide in sand.

Today I ventured to the beach. My reason was an intentional photo walk to do a little bit of self photography as well as some nature photography. {I also needed a bit of a recentering and we all know that is why God created beaches...}


I brought along my vintage Polaroid 340 to gather photos to use in future artwork.


I also brought along my newest vintage film camera, an Agfa Optima II s 35mm. This was the first time that I've used it, and I have to get the film developed, so it will be interesting to see how they turn out.


I have recently been inspired by the great Vivienne McMaster to try self portrait photography. This is a product of my first attempt at it. Shot with my dslr set with a self timer and sitting on a driftwood log in front of me. {I'm pretty sure the people walking by thought I was nuts...}




Various bits of beauty that I encountered...


And, a most perfect sunset at Deception Pass that I caught on the way back home.
