We spent a lot of time on the beach when I was young so I'd also take pictures of seaweed and crabs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up at the beach and I was always involved in beach clean-ups and caring for my environment.
When I see old photos of me on the beach I don't look too bad... but it's hard trying to breathe in for such a long time when I spot the photographers!
I photographed rocks and trees and tide pools and nudes and all that stuff for years and years. Until 20 years ago when I found that I could do it in the studio and never have to travel.
There's nothing better for kids than a bucket and shovel at the beach. I grew up across the marsh from The Citadel. We loved buying chicken necks at the Piggly Wiggly, tying them to a string on a stick and catching blue crabs.
Grilling outside with my parents at the Jersey shore. We would grill lobster and corn in the summer.
I always had the most fun going to the beach on the weekends with my friends. In a way, we treated our beach style the way New Yorkers treat their street style, so I was always conscious of how I looked.
I grew up on the beach. It's just a way of life. You don't seek out that lifestyle; it's just day-to-day.
It sounds ideal, a sort of beach childhood. But it wasn't really. I didn't use the beach very much at all.
I wanted to do something creatively, having been a beached whale for many months and nursing my daughter.
I think I need to film something tropical on a beach in a bar.
