Javalin from Arkansas stated that the water was cold.The Pacific Ocean pictured as the day was ending, giving peaceful vibes as we left the beach.
I chose to capture this story of a beach day with friends because it shows the importance of taking time off and enjoying the company of friends. I think I did a fairly good job of capturing the day. My best individual picture is the last one of ocean. I feel as though the wrestling picture is not great as a stand alone picture, but goes well the story. Next time when I take photos to tell a story, I want to focus on the journey of just one person instead of a whole group. Another more serious photo story I would like to take is about the stigma of mental health.
