LET'S FIND THE BEACH BABY

BEACH BABY
I stood above the stunning Silver Strand at Malinbeg one very, very hot day in, I think, 2009.  As far as I remember it was Easter time, possibly Easter Sunday.
I was taking photographs of the beautiful horseshoe shaped bay as people parked and walked down to the beach. 

As I stood admiring the view this little tot came into view.  The costume was very bright and drew my eye.  I thought it would make a fabulous photograph and I was far enough away that no-one’s privacy would be invaded.

The trouble was there were others around and I just wanted the little one and the sea and sand.

So I waited.  And waited.  The temperature was going up and I most certainly was not dressed for the hot weather being out on a photo-shoot and not ready for relaxing on the beach.

Each time I got just the wee one into my sights another person would run and land in the shot.  I know I could have photo-shopped anyone else out but I wanted to wait and see if I could get only the child.

Particularly so as there were the cutest little footprints left behind by the child.
My patience eventually paid off and I got the one shot where it was just the child, the sea, sand and the cute footprints.

Later I cropped it and made it into a large 6’ long print, cutting out much of the sea other than the little bit at the shoreline.

Now, possibly 14 years later, the child would be around 16 plus I imagine. 

​And I wondered if, with the power of social media, we could find the child, or the child’s parents to share the photograph with.

So, do YOU know who it is? 

I will be making a presentation of the large print to the child/parents if we find him or her.
