One Photograph: NorCal beaches are not like SoCal beaches

I lived on the Sonoma Coast of California for more than a decade. Unlike the beaches in Southern California, beaches up here are usually windy, nippy and often shrouded in fog. As I took my photo walks, I would occasionally come across visitors who were taking a day away from wine tasting to check out the beach. More often than not, they were not dressed adequately for the occasion. I made this photograph with my Pentax Spotmatic SP, 55mm f/1.8 Super Takumar on Kodak T-Max 100 film. Just moments before, I chatted briefly with a family from Ohio, underdressed, shivering and quickly heading back to their parked car.
