This man, running along the wet sand at the edge of Mission Beach, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He could run no further. He pulls his shirt to his face to absorb the sweat that is dripping into his yes. He has been running to the point of exhaustion, and this image makes a point about his effort. The picture works even more effectively because his efforts contrast to man in the Hawaiian shirt who is seated in the shade of a beach umbrella. He is not mopping any sweat from his brow – instead he relaxes in relative comfort. Together, this contrast between exhaustion and relaxation works to tell my story here. My long narrow crop intensifies that contrast.
