While on vacation this August, kicking around the lagoon in Oak Bluffs Massachusetts, looking for a photographic capture, this young woman allowed me to take a picture of her “taking a picture” as she shoved away from shore. What a smile!

Indeed, a compelling portrait. Interestingly enough, the only "distraction" in the picture - the handle, is telling the entire story of the water and kayak. Very nice !!   Posted: 10/07/2026 11:30:05
Interesting photo. Only thing I would change is maybe a bit more contrast. I do like the B & W better than the color photo!   Posted: 10/09/2026 17:02:29
