last beach day 2008 + KITES!

the above images were shot at long beach on long island, new york. it was one of the last days of 2008 to hang out at the beach because every fall new york beaches close. me being from southern california i know beaches, and at first I thought new york beaches were shit. but after a while on long beach i begin to feel as if i am on a southern california beach, that is before i hear someone speak and their very distinctive "lon gisland" accent comes out. HA!
