I received a plastic camera for Christmas, a Holga 120N. It's beautifully simple to use and takes a lot of the thinking and over-thinking out of photography. It reduces the photographer to pure artist creating art: observe, aim, capture. Of course, because of its lack of bells and whistles, exposures might not quite be what you expected. I'm told to expect light leaks and the "focusing" is really...
A few weeks ago, I made the short trip down to Narragansett in the hopes of finding some surfers out on the water given the prospect of storm swells.

It was quite the showing for the recreational folks, I counted about a dozen kite surfers on day one, with almost as many windsurfers. Day two there was still quite a showing, although...
