Beach Bum

Coast Guard Festival was a few weekends ago in Grand Haven. After the town emptied I shot some new photos of Bretton for istock and promo use. I got a new 50mm 1.4/f  lens a few weeks ago so I wanted to try it out as well. It was almost raining when we got down there, but once we were ready the sun came out. I had the vision already planned in my head for a few weeks. Nothing complicated, but it turned out exactly as I had visioned. I usually think of ideas for photos when I'm super busy doing something else, and day dreaming myself away (running on autopilot). The blue in the shirt he's "wearing" was a cheap T-shirt I got a while ago. Its my favorite color blue and I've always thought that the color looked great against tan skin. So, I cut up the shirt and he worked it.
