With the trauma of the second wedding and travel to the coast behind us we settled down to relax at our ocean-side getaway. Walking down to the beach that morning I found this guy selling his wares. I took a couple of shots but quickly realised that I had used far too slow a shutter speed and the results were very soft. I thought it was a wasted opportunity as the pose and the composition were spot on. However on returning home the image spoke to me even more, it looked to me that it could have been taken at any time in the past 100 years so that inspired me to get creative in the post processing. The result was this faux vintage style I think it looks pretty good!
