I don’t live near a (real) beach, and other than the 3 years I spent in Holbrook, NY, I’ve never lived anywhere …

Enter the Kodak Brownie Reflex Synchro
This Kodak Brownie Reflex Synchro came to me in a basket full of Brownies, courtesy of a generous coworker.

I received the Gossage and Cole books about a week before Hana and I left on vacation, and I spent a good part of that trip trying to see like they would see, maybe, though I’m not at all sure I really “get” their way of seeing at all. This is my most successful attempt. …
