An Eye for Photography: Summer Time

I do love winter, but i miss summer. Winter is my favorite, but summer is awesome.

This is a Penny Board, i took this photo during the summer of 2012. Every year my family takes a vacation to Strathmere, NJ. this is a tiny little town in between Ocean City and Sea Isle that my grandfather grew up on, so my family rents a house and crams everyone in there each summer Its little old house that doesn't even have air conditioning, but it has a wrap around porch that my grandfather adores, so against the cousins complaints, we get that house each year.

I have so many memories at this one house, which is strange to think about because its not even my house. i have learned so much here too.

My grandfather told me a story about his childhood in that town when we were there this year. He met my grandmother on the sea isle beach because of his life guarding job, and in time they fell in love. Mind you, they were 18. so my age. which is so surreal to think about. anyways, every day he would ride his bike to sea isle to work and visit my grandmother, so in turn every night he would have to bike home to Strathmere. This was during the second world war, so there was always the possibility of having enemy submarines off of the coast so when my grandfather biked home, he was not allowed to use any sort of light. in fact, there wasnt allowed to be any sort of light on the coast at all. Light would allow the enemy submarines to see the coast, which in turn would give them the opportunity to shoot at the land mass.

Its so cool to think how technology has changed from then to now. sailors had to use the stars and out dated (and probably inaccurate) maps back then, and now you dont even have to be in the vicinity of something you want to shoot at.

annyways.

summer is great, and i love taking pictures with my cousins.
