Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah
On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be
If you've checked out FH over the last few months, you know I featured photographer Michael von Redlich, and his work with model and adult film star Noah White to mark the changing high points of the summer season. Although officially, summer goes from June 21st through September 23rd, the meteorological summer runs from the first of June through August's end.
Michael's work with Noah helped FH kick off the month of June, (HERE:) and also celebrate the official first day of the summer season. (HERE:) It's fitting then, that on the last weekend of August, we again feature their creative collaboration with the last set of images from their time shooting on Playalinda Beach.
Although many are still dealing with wildfires and stiffing heat and humidity, for some, signs of fall are starting to surface. One of my favorite signs of Autumn is that slight chill felt in the late August air. No matter how hot the sun still may be, and how warm that ocean may feel, that chill can still be felt.
I have so many memories of late August and early September days on the beach. I loved those days, even with that nagging melancholy feeling that school would soon be starting and summer was coming to an end. I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoyed lying on the beach, fresh out of the water. Although the sun was still hot on your body, there was that cool layer of air just hovering above the surface of your skin.
On those days, you tended to spend just a little less time in the water, and a little more time soaking up the remaining rays of the summer sun. As welcome as that cool air might be, it was still a little jolting when you ascended from the ocean. Noah decided he move from the beating waves of the beach, to the slightly warmer temperatures of the water beneath the boardwalk.
The ocean temperature was actually not really any warmer, but there was a little less wind and it felt more tolerable was he frolicked and played in the surf. I love how all of the posts from the wharf look visually, with Noah at an aqua entryway. I also love the visual contrast of Noah's smooth skin with the rough wood of the posts full of barnacles and algae marking the height of the waves.
With it getting cooler in the water, Noah soon gets out, and his makes his way up, onto the boardwalk for one last series of images. Check out more of Michael and Noah's beach day on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
