Description
There was something about the beach at Playa del Carmen that I can't explain. Normally, I don't go out of my way to take pictures of people on the beach. As much as I love including people in city scenes, there's something about nature where I usually find myself concentrating on the landscapes and vistas.
But walking along Playa de Carmen, I kept catching myself concentrating on moments that included the other people who were enjoying the sun and sand of those beautiful Caribbean beaches. Go figure!
And this was one of those moments that literally just presented itself to me out of nowhere. Not unlike a flock of birds bursting unseen into a photo. I was taking pictures of the beach. I loved the skies that day. There had been two days of stormy weather on the beach and when you stood on the sunny beach and looked out towards Cozumel, there were still stormy skies. It made for a great contrast, the warm and sunny foreground of the beach with brooding skies in the distance.
Suddenly this couple came sailing almost literally into the scene and hugged right there. Moments later they were gone. I barely had time to react and pull the trigger, but I did. One stolen moment from someone's life on a Caribbean beach, but a beautiful and very human moment that I think speaks to so many of us.
