Hello people, the picture that you see above may look calming. Just a random chillin' day at the beach. No so much. I did intend for this shot to be in colour, however that did not happen. Some time before summer had started, in the middle of spring, I decided to go over to the Beaches and wander around. I took my Samsung Galaxy camera with me and there it was...The Shot. That day was not a great day for me, I felt very depressed and needed so alone time. As I came across this I immediately saw the calm. The clouds were perfect, the lighting was perfect, everything in this shot was explaining how I felt at that moment. I was at peace for the most part, but I needed to make a piece of art.
Looking out over Lake Ontario had always gave me great pleasure, a childhood past time. My parents used to take me out for a drive as a young child, we would go to Port Credit in Mississauga, park the car and take a walk near the water. So later on in my life it just seems fitting that when I need thinking time I head for the water. There I was in the Beaches, freezing my butt off, taking pictures of things I needed my camera to see.
All I could feel that day was pain in my heart, not sure why, just did. I looked into the lake for quite a long time. Listening to depressing music is a given upon my trails. I know this is weird, however, sad music makes me happy and happy music makes me miserable. Don't ask. At that moment I could feel everything, fully. I didn't want to leave even though I'm not a big fan of the east side of Toronto. I needed to stay.
I captured many other pictures that day, but this is the one that stood out most for me. It was also the most healing of all the pictures taken.
