Waves Breaking  on Porthchapel Beach

Nestled about 1k west of Porthcurno along the Coast Path, a small, unassuming beach. Inaccessible by car, you won't find many bathers or families at PorthChapel, and to be fair, I would have walked past on any other day, if the waves had not been so epic. Having passed Porthchapel in the morning on a walk to Sennen Cove with family,  I decided it demanded a second visit in the afternoon on my own. The result was was some of the most exhilarating & dynamic sea pictures I have ever taken. 

A couple of months ago, I was round at some friends' for the evening — drinks, nibbles, good company. Someone put on music. It was country rock, upbeat and really quite good. I found myself genuinely enjoying it. After a while I asked who the band was. "Oh, it's actually AI," my friend said. "They're not actually real." And something shifted. The music hadn't changed — not a single note — but my enjoyment of it did. It felt… lesser, somehow. I couldn't quite explain why, but that moment has stayed with me, and it's at the heart of why I made the decision I did when building this website.
