“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever… it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off–then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”
―Herman Melville, Moby-Dick; or, The Whale.

Thank you Mark.
Man I can’t wait to see the rest of this series. The last two have been absolutely fantastic.
Thank you Jordan. This one shot made me head out Into the darkness on a Saturday morning to be at the pier just as the sun was rising. I took a few other shots on the beach when I first arrived and quickly realized that I had used up 11 of my 12 frames of film! So I had one chance at this scene and this is the image I got. It has to suffice because I’m not planning on heading out into the cold any time soon.
Wonderful picture.
Actually, an understatement. It is one of your masterpieces.
Linden that is so very kind of you — thank you so much.
This looks like a spot I love on the west coast, love the image and the narrative
