A beautiful day at the beach. But then there's the back story.
The moment captured is the one immediately after the boy had lobbed a stone at the girl. He's running away, which is his current tactic immediately following the commission of any act he knows to be wrong.
I was poised to shoot as the stone was thrown and could have caught it, but in that split second found myself consciously deciding not to record it. I think I didn't want to deal with the dilemma of deciding between keeping it as a record of the intensity of sibling relationships, or erasing it out of a paternal duty to protect the child from that which might embarrass him in later years.
Luckily, the incident was isolated. They played together for another two hours before I finally dragged them home. What I really wish I'd caught on camera was the grey whale that surfaced briefly only a hundred yards or so off the shore.
