Where I'm coming from


A frequently given piece of photographic advice is something along the lines of, 'after you take a photograph, turn around and shoot what is directly behind you'. I was on my way to the beach on a trip to Los Angeles and I wanted to make a few images of the sunset. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Funny, when I actually lived in LA, I seldom bothered to go to the beach, but whenever I return, it is usually at the top of my list of locations to photograph. At any rate, the first image I took was a standard beach shot. This is the 'looking back' photograph. Kodak Ektar 100, Leica R8, 35mm Summicron.
