beach boys (Patreon)

March 22nd.

Pivoting entirely, here are my boys at the beach. Carter, my love, and Úlfur (e. Wolf), my best friend. Fun fact: my partner’s middle name is Wolfe, my best friend’s name is Úlfur, which means Wolf in Icelandic, and my favorite author is Virginia Woolf.

This was back when I was making frequent and long trips to Manhattan Beach, where Carter was living, while we were in a long distance relationship. And one of our favorite things to do was go to the beach. The boys would surf and I would snap away, occasionally taking a dip myself. I cherish these memories and am so grateful I took so many photos to remember them by. I experimented with long exposure; the rule of three; layering and more. A few concepts I’d like to dive deeper into with you guys soon.
