#3 of Rodney Lough Jr.'s Five Oh! Folio - Life's a Beach

Rodney Lough Jr. has created a unique folio comprised of five images from Hawaii, called, 'Five Oh!'.

Life's a Beach, well, sometimes. Sometimes it's something else.

The title is obviously a play on words, but there is a duality here that I'm hoping comes across. While we may often find ourselves in places that we simply don't want to be, there's always a beach somewhere and there's usually an amazing sunset going off as well...and we all would much rather be there, at the beach.

Don't let life get you down, because in the end it just doesn't matter. There's only so much you can take and there's only so much they can take from you. In either case, you control the taking... not them.

So go hang out at the beach this weekend!
