On the right, the surfer treads the sand,
Board held easy in his hand.
The sea hums low, a rhythmic tune,
Beneath the soft breath of afternoon.
To the left, the skyline shimmers far,
Each tower catching the day’s last star.
Gold Coast gleams in a hazy glow,
Dream and distance, ebb and flow.
Between the two, the tide’s long sigh,
Carries the hush of sea and sky.
One man, one coast, one fading light
The world divided, yet calm, and right.

A lone silhouette on Burleigh sand,
Board in hand, footsteps soft and planned.
The city rises, glass and light,
Against the fading edge of night.
He walks where waves whisper and break,
Where ocean dreams and skylines wake.
Sunset drapes the scene in gold,
A fleeting story silently told.
Salt wind tangles, horizon glows,
Between the land the skyline shows.
A surfer paused, the world in frame,
Shadow and sea, one quiet flame.

Along Noosa’s shore, where sunlight spills,
A young man lingers by the sea’s soft thrills.
Bathers clinging to his sunlit skin,
He lifts his lens, the world pulled in.
Waves like silver sighs beneath the sky,
Clouds drift lazily, the gulls wheel high.
Each shimmer, each ripple, each glinting crest,
He captures the ocean within his chest.
The wind hums secrets through salt-sweet hair,
A fleeting moment, a quiet prayer.
One gentle click, and time holds its breath,
The sea, the sun, the boy—forever left.

Dad used to love beach fishing, getting flat heads or brims. They are great for fish stock.

Lately I received some nasty comments about my noisy imperfect B+W photos. Some even asked me to use proper camera gear too.
To me, I went through different life crisis or drama. These photos were my ways to distract myself from other inevitable mundane matters. The poor resolution or back focusing of the gear actually take me to those time too.
Honestly most of these posted images on this blog were sitting in a forgotten hard disc. Like most of us, these were often lost images that one cannot get this memory back, good or bad.

p.s. Not sure how long I will last with candid photography. But I will keep going until I run out of steam.
