Early evening light defines the tire tracks of the trucks that keep Mission Beach pristine. A lone runner churns through the sand as the thronged boardwalk and its wall of beach houses seem to watch him as he passes. My 415mm telephoto lens compresses the spatial perspective of the image, making it seem as if all of the blue trash barrels along the wall of the board walk stand virtually side by side. Actually, they are spaced much farther apart than it appears.
