Personal Connection

When I have children someday, I want to be able to let them remember their childhoods by lookind back at photographs (although I'm sure there will be new, extremely advanced technologies than those that we use today)
I hope to become a much better photographer so that I can capture great moments of my adolescence
pictures bring me back to my happy childhood memories that I really cherish and hold close

Surf Sequence No. 5

Sense of time
capturing an instant, also representing the instant as if its part of a timeless sequence
sense of long term changes in landscape
No people; gives a real sense of the scene itself
Reminds me of my childhood at the beach
Sense of motion yet is so tranquil and calm
