'You might want to check if the women were under-age, you could be in serious trouble if there are!'
|
The ladies posed happily for me, and insisted on me also posing with them :)
|
Not that I was doing anything with these women on the beach, just taking a few pictures while they volunteered to pose for me. Anyway heeding Kanishk's advice, I have decided not to post anything that anyone might find offensive here...
|
Artist/ writer...he made an inspiring picture |
|
Oh the view...the bay in full bloom! |
|
Frisbee in action, initially conscious, he eventually forgot that I existed and I could take some 'action' pics... |
|
I found them to be a real sweet couple..they walked into the sea and then kissed for a long time...beautiful.. |
|
Some girls... |
The pseudo photo-shoot happened while Padam was freezing his balls in the cold Pacific water. He lamented till later in the evening about his lost manhood, especially after one of the girls took him to be gay and warned not to hit on me
(hilarious). This was all extremely entertaining for all of us, but not necessarily him :) Despite the cold-water-attack on his balls, I regretted not carrying my swimming trunks to the beach, I am sure my balls would have survived and I would have loved the experience too. The sea was amazing...very clean, not so crowded and very inviting.
|
I loved the colors, the light was simply magic there! |
|
I wish the image was darker...but then the light was such...still somehow like it |
|
I think this was an Iranian family, the mother was a bystander in a hijab while the kids played along... |
|
Isn't he just awesome? |
|
A few surfers...not many that day... |
So I walked along the shore, taking pictures, and smiling at strangers. Some smiled at me and posed for me, while others requested me not to bomb their country
(racial, eh?). But it was fun, especially the sun set, which was truly magical. Pictures certainly do no justice to its beauty...
|
This was quite a sight, the woman was straight out of Baywatch, and the man a hunk! |
|
The most awesome kid @ the beach, he loved playing with the football... |
|
Sweet! I wish I could somehow share this picture with them... |
Just like most places I am visiting here, I hope I will be back on the
Stinson beach when the weather is warmer and with my swimming gear. Hopefully soon. Of course San Diego remains high on the list, and Half Moon bay...and so many more places...
Life seems to be short...with so much to experience and explore...
|
The 'football' kid again...everyone was mesmerized by the setting sun... |
|
Kanishk suggested the composition and I really like it too!
|
And the woman looked on...I was behind her and looked at her... |

Beautiful pics Siddartha.... the beaches are surely the best part of California :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nirja, the beaches surely are pretty, I want to see so much more of it. Especially the Southern California...
DeleteYeah you should def come to Southern California and let me know whenever you come, we can go to the beach and shoot more amazing sunsets.... M planning to come to Bay area in April, any good places that I shouldn't miss for photography???
DeleteWow...that sounds absolutely awesome Nirja, thanks a lot for the offer :) I might actually come this month end itself during the spring break...will keep you updated!
DeleteAs for the bay area, even I have explored very little of it...only areas around SF. And the kind of photography that I enjoy the most, city is certainly the best place!
Oh cool.... drop me an email at nirja03@gmail.com :)

Thanks Trotter :) I am sure you are having an amazing time traveling as well...
DeleteThe slight tilt in the football kid watching sunset picture makes it really special. Funny how silhouettes always convey something new although they are supposed to hide the details. Well done!
