LA Beach Dude, 2007

I ran along the beach earlier that morning and noticed how amazingly creepy these structures looked in the fog. I had a flight out of LA that day but managed to make it back for a few minutes later with my Holga. As I was looking through the viewfinder, composing my image of the structure by itself, this guy swung into frame! In a split second I snapped, and that was the image.
