Empathy is a characteristic that many could use a little more of in their lives, but not this one. It may sound weird, but my wife feels things before I can even open my mouth. She has a way of taking it in, absorbing everything around her, and makes people feel they can share anything with her. Given all of this, she often feels heavy hearted, and the only retreat is getting outside. .

Not sure this shot was worth it. Just moments after, I got in a fight with my camera, and my camera lost. As a rogue wave approached I turned to escape and stumbled in the loose pebbles. As my hands instinctually lowered to catch myself, the tripod caught the ground. This allowed the camera an opening for a uppercut to my eye. In the melee we both went down, and the wave made sure to catch and submerse us both. I escaped with a tiny black eye, but my camera didn't fare so well, a cracked sensor, salt in the dials, and an internally fogged lens. Let's hope my insurance comes through.
