Stranger # 9

Meet Gregg.



Now I am totally psyched about this photo!  I have been dying to get a surfer picture.  I finally got up the nerve to ask him (after letting 4 or 5 surfers pass me by).  Gregg had a really nice smile and approachable "feel".  Most surfers I see seem to be in a hurry to get into the water...so I didn't want to bother them.  But Gregg was finished for the day and was walking up from the beach. 

We were chatting for awhile and he told me that he's been surfing since 1976. Anyway, I guess the surf was pretty rough as he lost one of his fins on his board!  He thought that was pretty funny.

On a side note:
I have yet to learn to surf...

Excellent. Hope you get your wish someday. It was a wish, wasn't it?

Yhis reminds me I should go surfing soon..

Love it, he looks like such a friendly guy.

I've been following your project on facebook. I think this is a cool idea and you've captured some interesting people.

Awesome! Love your processing here, too.

I'm loving the courage you're nurturing in yourself every bit as much as the photos you're capturing and the new people I'm meeting here.

Great photo. Sounds like Greg has a wonderful life attitude.

I found you through August Break! I love this photo, not to mention the "story" you shared.
