safety pin
This little kid’s parent must have had a previous bad experience with that wee kilt: see how it’s safety pinned to the shirt? Even at an outdoor festival, it’s important to maintain a certain level of decorum. Or something.
But anyway, the kid and the sheep (who were queued up for their turn at the sheep dog trials) were checking each other out.

foot traffic
There are a lot of things that make me laugh. A lot. You’d probably be surprised at the range of things that I find hilarious.
This, for example, is extremely funny to me. (And, yes: I do crack my own self up.)

one of each
One person, one chair, one beach bag, one (blurry) seagull.
And a touch of pink in the sky.

carnival (off season)
It felt like going to the beach in the off season was like walking around the back of a building: nothing much going on, except that everything was going on in a way that made clear nothing there cared if you noticed it or not.

the photographer’s assistant
Late afternoon sunlight drew quite a few photographers and their clients to the beach. Oh, and their assistants were there, too.
I made this shot without having time to compose it because I really, really wanted the reflector blocking the face of the kid that was being photographed. There is the tiniest chance that I followed them around for a while, hoping to get a better version of this shot, but that never happened…
