Seawall at Seventy

So there was this day when it hit 70 degrees and sunny in the middle of April. I hope everyone got outside that day because it was absolutely gorgeous out and melted away every single memory of the winter blues! I headed straight for the beach in the afternoon and of course I brought my camera with me. It wasn't going to be a typical beach day but a photoshoot day, and I located myself amongst...

The surf was up to about 5+ with a nice offshore breeze but a lot of the usual places were pretty crowded, so a few friends of mine used...

These were two separate visits to Narragansett Beach during low tide. The first was at dusk as the clouds rolled in and the sky turned pale pink. With extra sand removed from the beach after the hurricane, the old pillons and remnants of Old...
