"Last evening, as the sun was beginning its decent, I had just arrived to my beach home on Lake Michigan (near Chicago) when I saw three splendid girls giggling and walking towards me on the sand. They had the carefree style of youth that quickly disappears with age. The scene from far suggested to me memories of my own youth, and time gone by. They seemed like Botticelli's Three Graces who had gone to look for their half-shell.
I quickly grabbed my 4s from my pocket and chose this combo setting (Foxy & C-Type plate). As they came close I asked them if I might take their foto! They immediately assumed these natural poses inspired by the Venus herself! I love this combination for the beach because the pinkish tones and vintage plate effect give the image and hence the story itself a feel of times gone by, the memories of our own youth. It is a perfect combination for that nostalgic feel that summer vacation pictures really are all about."
