After The Rain Comes The Sun

Putting In Paradise

The reason I like this photo is it's blurry/dreamy vibe. Golfing on Maui is the dream of many golfers.

Cool Pool View

I visited a friend, a "snowbird", and this is the view from her rented condo which faces the ocean.

Money Has Many Faces

This photo is from my abundant archives, but if fits in with the VFXY Theme of the day: Money!

Money, or lack of money, seems to be a prevalent theme in many lives these days, eh? And what is your relationship with money?

Rescue At Sea

At a recent party I chatted with a professional photographer who was photographing the event. Our conversation concluded along these lines:

Him: Are you a professional?
Me: Nah, an amateur who just loves taking photos.
Him: Do you take lots of photos?
Me: Oh yes, lots and lots.
Him: Well, then you're a professional.
Me: Why so?
Him: This is what professionals do. One of the many will tell the story.

I'm referencing this conversation today because of the photo I posted above. It tells a story. If you click on it, you will see a lifeguard on a jet ski towing what looks to be a small boat with a person in it. I have no idea what happened, but after downloading the photo, I grokked what was happening.

I had simply been doing what I always do: taking lots and lots and lots of photos. 98% of them are trashed, but every now and then, one has a intriguing or provocative story.
