Like many people, holiday photographs feature heavily in my collection. Although many are taken as souvenirs, mementos of a great holiday or just as a reminder of a place I have been.
Sometimes though, it becomes more than just a reminder. I take photographs of beach scenes where it seems to signify a particular mood; solitude or even outright loneliness. The openness of a beach and the often wild nature of the place may evoke sense of ‘smallness’; where we (or me anyway) recognise we are not as important as we sometimes imagine.
The images below are ones I have taken that – tome at least – evoke different moods and emotions.
