The Boys of Summer

June 8, 2014 by Alex Landeen 4 Comments

steveandkevinFor me, Steve and Kevin are spring. They represent cold water, cold air, and the appreciation for layers and lanterns in wooden boxes that save lives in the front of drift boats.

Tomorrow I go north once again, but this time the fast waters of the Pere Marquette will be replaced with the clear shallows of Lake Michigan, the snow with rain, thick jackets with light long-sleeves. And I am ready.

I am ready to embrace old friends and make new ones. I am ready for Kevin’s shit-talk, and Steve’s quiet disappointed head-shake. I am ready for laughs with a cold beer and good conversation and the frantic passion that accompanies the task of capturing photographically the essence of a place and its people.

I am ready for big fish.

I am ready for shouts of joy and anguish with high-fives like punctuation on the visual sentences of a shared experience.

Chief Brody said it’s only an island if you look at it from the water. I hope to get a very good look.

and me, because when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
