98F-12 "Virginia and Dean"

Sometimes ideas come along and stay for a while. Building them is another story.
Build number: 98F-12 (lifetime start #140)
Title: "Virginia and Dean"
Date: June 27
Location: Venice Breakwater, south side
Start: record unavailable
Height: 4.3feet
Base: 1.75 feet (cylindric)
Photography: half a roll E100S 35mm, 2 rolls TMX120

The tide required starting at 0730, the low coming earlier and earlier through the season. Good sand was available in layers, a long carry away from the building site but the overcast morning helped keep me cool.

My original idea started with a big scalloped wing. The pile was good and that enabled other explorations, including that of my friend Virginia with her son Dean.

I still like the result, after Larry got me to looking at the photos again.
