[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The springtime is the time when there is warm enough to go the beaches but there is not warm enough to strip yourself to the bikini...

If the TV' weather guys will the you otherwise - don't trust them.

Fact is a fact is a fact...

There...

Hello George,
I like this shot, very relaxed, but catching the moment.
Reminds me of those Weege shots from Coney Island.
Nice Work.

No i porobiło sie. Siedzę przy kompie i śledzę zdjęcia na TE. I jak Polonaise się zaprodukuje (nikt tak nie zapodaje zdjęć, jak on), to mi się zaczynają ręce trząść. Sprawdzam szybko komu i jakie makaki już dałem, bo przecież jak można dawać na lewo i prawo a Jemu nie dać.
No i modlę sie w swym bezbożnym umyśle, coby Polonaise dał albo kompletnego gniota, wtedy może zrozumie dlaczego go omijam, albo żeby dać coś odjazdowego, wtedy z czystym sumieniem mogę walnąć go makakiem.
No i już zdjęcie jest... Dobre, da się oglądać, nawet. Nie odbiega od innych in minus (zbytnio). Trza dać makaka, bo w innym przypadku opier***li jak burą sukę. No i notka nawet jakaś taka nienachalna, nie przymuszająca (nikt tak nie zapodaje jak On), to nie ma ch*** we wsi, trza makaka odżałować. Niech tam, jak wszyscy to wszyscy, Poldek też, jak ta babcia. Niech ta bedzie moja krzywda.
----------------
Tyle wstępu. Tera, żeby mi krytyki nie wywalili, trza cuś o samym zdjęciu pogadać, nie?
No to se siedzą trzy panienki w wieku przedtartacznym, a jedna to nawet na widok nagusieńskiego Poldka aparat wyjęła i robi. Te dwie inne to się cieszą, że ta trzecia robi. A Poldek marznie, w morde jeża.
I tak na plaży w Torontowicach powstało kolejne marne zdjęcie, bo jaki moze być goły Poldek?

Makak sie należy jak w pysk. Wrzućta do łorkszopa tę poldkowom goliznę, to se przynajmniej na cuś zabawnego popatrzym..

Pozdrawiam.

Sveiks, Juri! (that's how you'd be greeted in Latvia; among Latvians; don't confuse with Jurii - which would be the Russian version and would sound more like "Privet, Jurii" or "Pivet, ZHORA"). anyway, now that i've blabbered half an hour away, back to business at hand here. ah, your picture: a nice illustration to the concept of not trusting the weather-man. lol. what is this, friend? a foto duel? did you challenge them? whatever you did was sure to bring out all smiles on the facies of these ladies. good work! (i wish i could observe just HOW you did in random encounters so efficiently). by the way, that blanket - the way you presented it; i had to spend some time to realize they all are actually not floating on a raft in some polish lake ;)

cheers,
kristaps

ps. by the way, NYC parks were full of bikinis yesterday... i shot dogs instead... coward!

hello george, very nice and friendship shot, you are lucky, three young girls for take you in photo? have a good evening
francine

Yes, George, not bikini, but...three girls for you, Casanova...Ehi, I like this pic: it is wonderful, for my yes, that sea just at spring. Nobody inside. Ciao, A.P.

Look George, you can't compete against three beautiful girls, even though you have a bigger camera! Especially if those girls are young and beautiful! You are no match! :))
A good, solid photography. I'm always impressed by your skills at interacting with your subjects. It gives another dimension to the photos.
Summer is so short in North America that we go to the beach even when it is cold! They went there with that very intention since they brought with them a blanket! And interesting enough, it gives a nice pattern.
Small things that I especially like: the raised foot (!) and the triangular shape of the background.
Did you ask for the photo they took? :)
Claire

They look good and happy ! Friendly trio, a new version of the 3 (smiling) graces, lying on the sand… Each one with a different attitude, equally smiling...
It's an optimistic and positive photo, it makes me happy too, ... But this one is less challenging : no puzzle that I can see, just happy faces in the cool sun and wind...
Shall I complain about that ? Although I prefer when you shake and shock and agitate us with powerful photos, let's relax here and smile like they do !
Cath.

Not to crowded beaches are great at any time of the year for me but it's nice to be able to put off some layers:-))). Seems you've found the main attraction here with your usual flair, a lovely smiling one, bringing smiles to our faces too. I'd love to see the one the girl has taken of you, mystery man! Very attractive composition and b/w.
