	JULY 2, 10:16 AM While Ed was photographing Ruth, who was aiming her camera down the beach, little did he know that ....
	... at the same moment Peter took this photo of Ruth and Ed photographing each other ...
	... while Pamela took a similar shot, catching the edge of Peter's hat, as surfers walked on by.
	And here's the photo Ruth took of Ed, Pamela, and Peter photographing her. That section of the beach at 10:16 am was well documented.
