Yesterday was the First Friday Art Walk, but before I sat around trying to sell stuff, my father and I spent a lovely part of the afternoon walking around Two Lights State Park in Cape Elizabeth and taking photos:
I was walking down India Street on Saturday when a man appeared beside me. "You want to take my picture," he stated. I wasn't sure if it was an accusation or a demand, so I just shrugged. "How do I pose?" he asked. I mumbled something about lighting as he stared into my lens. I snapped a picture:...

On the west section of the beach you have to ford (or swim) across the Morse River to get to the main part of the beach, where the surf is. It looks serene here,...
