On this trip, I have been burning through a lot of memory... On Big Black Beautiful Camera, and the iPhone, as well as a water camera. Geoff has been helping me manage storage. Max helps me hit delete. But, but, but... sometimes I cannot hit delete, lose forever the precious moment digitally preserved, and recalling a scene to treasure, always.
Okay. Lets face it, not all of our vacation photos are worthy of the cover of National Geographic. But for me, some of the worst offenders are more dear, more meaningful than any Conde Nast spread. There are good postcards at every corner store, and plenty of coffee table books, and Internet sensations have Hawaii and beaches, and fish, and palm trees quite well documented. Nonetheless, some of the pictures downloaded from our camera, lousy as they are, are for me, utterly undeletable.
And so, in honor of all beautiful bad vacation pictures everywhere, I present our too precious to delete, but really not so great beach photos!

I love these, Natalie. Sometimes, photos are more about story-telling and memory-making than about that perfectly composed and lit image.
Looks just wonderful! Axxx
