the sea it used to be

pictures from stops along the pacific coast highway in malibu today.  a mild, pale and partly sunny day.  cruising the coast at 60mph with the sunroof open, the smell of the sea, and birds flying beside my car like dolphins around a boat was the right amount of HELL YES i needed.

seemed like as good a time as any to experiment with textures.  i like how the images responded to them.  they became a little softer, like they'd been held, or pressed in a family album for years.  i remember hearing a This American Life podcast about home movies and someone said that a majority of old home movies were shot on vacation at the beach.  that's what i see in these.  nostalgia.  inconsequential snapshots of commonplace subjects that serve as a reminder of what it felt like to be there.
