Photographer’s Note

My tripod was set-up and my camera left the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge you've already seen,swinging south and west toward sailboats near the coast of Tiburon. Glancing down I saw fishermen strung out along a breakwater that most likely covered a storm drain outfall. Then I noticed a group of four men on the shore getting ready to go fishing. The number FOUR leaped out at me and I kept checking back to see what was happening with the group. They headed down the breakwater, each selecting a different location far from his friends. I went back to the bridge, then to the Larkspur ferry coming in from San Francisco. Then I noticed the men slowly moving together. I positioned my camera and waited until, at last, I caught this image of the four of them standing near one another for the first time. I don't know whether they were sharing fishing lures the man kneeling was examining in his tackle box, or whether they were about to leave. But they were together, nonetheless, a group of four fishermen and four fishing rods. I check another category off the Scavenger Hunt, leaving only the most challenging, something two hundred years old. Wish me luck!
