If anyone in class doesn't know what Jack riepe http://jackriepe.blogspot.com/ looks for at a beach, raise your hand now. Yes, that's right; nubile young women. And class, what does Conchscooter look for? yes that's right too, irony understated unintentional humor and grotesque contradictions. Today Jack riepe rockets to the head of the class with this study of a young woman on a bicycle.
Looking closer to the water we see this happy woman striding up the strand after an enjoyable swim. Very riepe.
And here we have an animated conversation on the short pier at the west end of the beach. Seen through the coconut fronds the picture has an air mystery and a Peeping Tom quality completely alien to the brash Jack riepe's approach to the subject matter. I'd like to think of it more as a secret agent on the trial of something big.
This is Conchscooter's idea of palm frond photography. Notice the nuance and texture and the colors.
Clearly I need to spend more quality time with riepe to get these lessons right.

Mr Conchscooter:
I heard the name "rIEPE" and just had to drop by. Why do some photos "click" to enlarge, and some don't. The woman on the bicycle in the first photo enlarges just fine. She is wearing a towel fastened by safety-pins and holding an MP3 player. The peeper photo does not enlarge.
Now, I don't know what has happened as your photos ran out after only 3 specimens, truly disappointing. You've got 4 hours to come up with more on your next post. thank you
