Using the golden ocean as a backdrop, which features a child dashing into the surf, I made this picture of another photographer making a picture. He was seated in a beach chair under a translucent umbrella, and taking pictures of the dazzling sunset with his smartphone. We see what he may see, but also much more. His abstracted figure becomes a metaphor for what beach photography has become – everyone who is not in the water seemed to have a cellphone camera in hand at this moment and all of them were shooting the same thing at the same time -- the setting sun.
