I swear this is a true story. At low tide at our local beach you can walk way out into the Sound at this one spot. So my son and I decide right when the wind is whipping up and the rain is starting to fall to venture out there to get a better look. I really have to relieve myself and my son is telling me please don't because you never know who is watching. I'm like, yeah right, it's getting dark, we're way way out, most everyone has left the shore area or had the good sense to be indoors hunkered down, and so on. My son then decides to go way out on the slippery rocks which ordinarily is a bad thing even when there is no approaching hurricane, but when you want to be alone you just play the percentages a big wave is not about to take him out to sea. While he's looking out at the waves I decide to act. Then he unexpectedly turns around so I wave, pretending like I'm just standing there. Fortunately he doesn't notice I'm waving with my left hand, which is odd for a right hander. And at that exact moment, seriously, a newspaper guy with some big-ass telephoto lens takes the shot below. - Jeff
