I have been struggling lately. I am com ing to terms with my home life and have starting working evenings. My old body is having trouble adjusting to this change and the rollercoaster weather pattern has not helped.
I had an idea sitting in the back of my mind to go out after work and shoot some night images. I charged up all my batteries and set out after work Friday night to Narragansett to photograph from the Town Beach. It was freezing and the wind was blowing but I still managed to get some decent images. However the tide was low and I wanted something more. I looked at my work when I returned home and knew I had to go back.
Last Friday I went to work wearing my regular shorts and long sleeve shirt, not paying any attention to the weather forecast. After finishing up I headed south to shoot Narragansett at high tide. I had completely forgotten to bring my lined jeans, but felt that I would survive. When I arrived at my destination the wind was blowing at gale force and the temperature was in the low teens. The tide was coming in and almost at full high. The wind was on-shore and lifting the spray from the waves across the seawall. Being a typical photographer I set up my equipment and begain shooting. I lasted about twenty minutes on the west side of the Towers.
I got in the Jeep and with heater blasting I headed for the Town Beach to complete my self assignment. I lasted about one-half hour on the beach before the blowing sand and spray was too much. I was very grateful that my vehicle had heated seats and steering wheel and I headed home. Here are the results of my efforts.
