A quiet close to a day at the beach two summers ago. This section of beach in New Jersey was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy and though I have yet to see the house that we used to rent out for the week, I doubt it is how it was. Last I heard it was close to 100% water damaged and it would either need to be completely renovated or knocked down. I've spent at least a few days out of each summer on this beach since I was a kid, so to see it go is going to be hard.
By the way "Ficktion Photography" is synonymous with me. [link] 2011-2013.
Was just there on a job. Sad to see all of the devastation. Was unable to get onto the beach or anywhere close to much. You'll see the photos I just posted. We used to spend a week at Seaside every year in the mid 70's and day trip to other area beaches.
Makes me immensely sad. But, it's also humbling to know that nowhere is safe to Mother Nature and for all the thoughts of being so damn high and mighty we can have everything torn out from under us in a second.
Your FB pictures usually have you surrounded by friends and excitement. Do you enjoy quiet times, as well? In which situation do you best "recharge"? (Sorry -- I'm a pastor)
Haha, I expect this of you. I quite often call you "Pastor John" for clarification to people like my mother. I actually prefer the quiet moments. I'm very much an individual and like to be alone more often than not. For me to be lonely is surprisingly seldom. Probably why I could take those extended road trips without qualms.
I don't mean to sound as if I don't like company; I do! I just recharge, as you put it, better when I'm alone.
Definition of an introvert. On the Myers-Briggs, I'm just to the extrovert side of center. But, when I'm under stress, I jump over to the introvert side of center. So, I can relate. You must have some pretty close friendships.
I do, but most people don't seem willing to accept that I need that alone time more often than not. Friends tend not to understand and then complications arise.
