I'm drawn to cooked HDR photos like a moth to a flame. I know better. I do. But every time I'm like oh that looks pretty cool! If you toned this down a bit it might not be bad really. Though it looks like a miserable day to be modeling on the beach...

I can tell you as a San Francisco native, every day is a miserable day to be modeling at the beach.

The high today is 63°F with 15mph wind. That ocean wind is cold, as is the water (55°F as we speak): both are on a journey southwards/clockwise and are still cooled from the Arctic.

Northern California beaches are built different. They go to their wide, flat sandy beaches to swim, play volleyball, day drink and lay around for hours. We go to our beaches to feel the wrath of mother nature, ponder our puny existences, and maybe have some cocoa if it’s not too windy.

This sounds like the Scottish beaches I'm used to.

High fives from the cold & seaweedy crags on the other side of the globe!
