Solomons Seen: Conversation

There was only a little breeze this evening

I just have to say it again. Solomons Island brings out the best in people. The atmosphere of this river side town is a little more peaceful and the pace a tad slower than the surrounding area. You can end up in a conversation about many things. Tonight I met Mike Cooper and his wife Rusty. Mike came up and asked: "Do you have any good shots in there?" while pointing at my camera. "I hope so" or something similar was my reply.

Mike and Rusty

We had a nice conversation about photography. It turns out that Mike is getting started in the brave new world of digital SLR. This seems to be a new passion for him, and he too is often on Solomons taking pictures. I also found that he is a businessman and does both house painting and pest control. Rusty was incredibly patient and let us talk quite a while. It was nice to watch them walk away hand-in-hand southward on the boardwalk.

The only wheeled vehicle I caught this evening was this motorcycle.

I continued down the Riverwalk myself and noticed a local buoy that was out of place. If you end up this close to the rocks you certainly are going to be in trouble!

Shooting from in front of the Gazebo the surroundings presented lots to take in. Two girls were talking and one was doing gymnastics in the Gazebo. Kayaks were in the river as were larger boats.

The shot to the left at a slow shutter speed: you can see she's rotating around her hips.

The shots below at a faster shutter.

The young ladies were in conversation were having a conversation with another guy after this shot, and then were gone. Unfortunately I didn't get to ask their names. If you happen to know them, let them know they're on SolomonsSeen.
