Topsy-turvy, Mission Beach, California, 2015

I also used this pair of bystanders to add meaning to a surfing image. I was following the course of this surfer as he raced through the waves towards the shore. As he came closer to the beach, I saw him begin to falter. I also noticed a man and a woman chatting with each other at water’s edge. I framed them as they talked, and hoped that this surfer might somehow enter my frame as well. I was in luck – he did more than just plow into my frame. As he entered it, he lost his balance and turned completely upside down right in front of the people in the foreground. The man appears to be watching this surfer take an incongruous spill, but the woman does not even seem to notice. She scratches her back and focuses entirely on her conversation, providing us with a double incongruity.
