My wife had a fabulous idea. After looking at the weather report, the suggestion was made to take the kids to the beach, as we both had the day off. We both have full time careers, so finding a day where we are both off is a rarity.
It’s only a bit longer than an hour to Galveston from the Hoek Casa, so the car ride wasn’t two bad for our two year old twins. You get used to the kids kicking the back of your chair, and after the first thirty miles you don’t even notice it anymore.
We pulled into Galveston only to discover a fog bank covering the entire island!
As a photographer, I really find that sometimes great images can come from the worst weather.

“Portraiture may be a great art. There is a sense indeed in which it is perhaps the greatest of any art. And portraiture involves expression. Quite true. But expression of what? Of a passion, an emotion, a mood? Certainly not… The only expression allowable in great portraiture is the expression of character and moral quality, not of anything temporary, fleeting, accidental.” - Edward Burne-Jones, “3 Keys to Portraiture Through Fine Arts,” The Rangefinder Magazine (September 1964)
