On Sunday, October 16th, 2022, I went for a walk on the beach.
That would be the only time in the year I would dare to walk on the beach. I don’t like the heat, crowded places, and obviously the sun. I have developed an acute allergy to strong light.
So that is why I waited until October to take this walk. And I loved it. The sky was inviting to make amazing patterns. The abandoned buildings on the beach gave the images an eerie look.
After over 18 long months this great group of photographers, that consistently gathered for over 10 years, was able to get into the routine of meeting and making pictures..
Thanks to the tireless work of organizing and showing up Chris and Sally do, almost 30 photographers gathered in Croton Point park, NY for a long walk around nature. Some old faces but also some new ones came and enjoy that beautiful fall day.
I decided mainly to focus on making images of the group itself, showing how important is the human interaction and how much we needed it. That long walk helped me, and I hope that it also did it to the rest, to catch up with many of them, at the same time that we all created a new set of images to fulfill our passion for this craft.
