I was able to express the human value of shyness in this encounter along Mission Beach. A mother is enthusiastically telling her young daughter about this fisherman and his catch. At the moment they pass the fisherman, the child averts her eyes and bites her lower lip, unwilling to acknowledge the presence of either fisherman or his tiny fish. As soon as the fisherman was gone, the child became herself again, reveling in the evening tide. The next image in this gallery was made just three minutes after I made this picture. It expresses an entirely different set of human values. ( See http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/128757519 )
