EDITORS COMMENTS
Skimming Stones: A Timeless Tradition at the Seaside" In this evocative photograph by Norman Synge Waller Budd, a young boy stands at the water's edge of a pebbly beach, his focus intently fixed on the horizon as he prepares to fling a flat stone across the surface of the sea. The sun begins to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the scene, as his seated family looks on with admiration and anticipation. The pebbles underfoot, worn smooth by the relentless action of the waves, bear witness to the passage of time and the enduring allure of the seashore. The image transports us back to a simpler era, perhaps the 1950s, when families would spend their afternoons at the seaside, enjoying the simple pleasures of nature and each other's company. The boy's determination to make his stone skim as far as possible, the gentle laughter of his family, and the soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore create a moment of tranquility and joy that resonates with us all. Norman Synge Waller Budd, a skilled photographer, captures the essence of this timeless tradition, the interplay of light and water, and the beauty of the natural world in this stunning print. The photograph invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the simple pleasures of life, even as the world around us races by at an ever-increasing pace.
