This photograph was taken in the summer 2007 during a trip to the Oregon coast. The subjects are my two stepchildren and an unknown surfer who just happened to be strolling by. In all my years growing up in Oregon and my hundreds of trips to the coast, I had never seen a surfer. The Pacific ocean off the coast of Oregon is COLD to say the least! On this day my two stepkids from Ohio (who are enchanted everytime we visit the ocean) just stopped suddenly to stare at this surfer walking by.

This picture was taken using a FugiFilm S5000 Digital camera. I converted it to a 8 bit grayscale using PhotoStudio to make the photo black and white.
