Forgot My Water-Camera Today
Forgot my water-camera today. Always good to do, once in a while. During my 45-minute paddle-workout, I found myself still checking photo opportunities, but I also found myself noticing other things. The quality and consistency of my strokes, for example, or lack thereof. The balance points of the board, if I changed position. Also, aspects of the sailboats and motorboats on Richardson Bay that were other than telegenic: waterline bio-creep; working boats vs storage boats; changes in mooring positions; new flags, new sails, and new decorations. I also focused more on using the slight swell to my benefit; it was slight, so that took focus I usually don't spare when the camera is handy.

TBT: That Kid, The Swimmer
August 1975.
Swim meet at Kennedy Pool.
I am 14.
Sometimes, especially when I swim, I am that kid again.
