On the Point | Yashica T4, Kodak portra 400

One Picture/One Paragraph

We call this place the Point, as in Let’s walk around the Point, meaning the tip of the peninsula of the small town of Colonial Beach. Where I am from. When my sister got married on the pier in front of our family restaurant, we all drove around the point honking horns and waving. My niece waits tables at the Dockside restaurant at the marina on the Point. And when my mother died, she rode in the hearse around the point one last time. Most every town has its traditions and special places, this is ours.
