So, Sarasota never ceases to amaze me. I am home for a week in between graduation and the start of my internship, and have been busy with graduations stuff at home since. But today, I was itchin to shoot. I was thankful that it was mothers day, because my mother welcomed the idea of a walk on the beach at sunset. I knew that there would be something interesting down there, even if we couldn't see the sunset due to smoke.
I forgot until we got into the parking lot at the beach that it was Sunday night, which meant drum circle in Sarasota.
