Wave Moves

I like to see the progression of waves, how they change and move and evolve.

For Easter

It is easy, when taking photographs, to feel as if you have created something. And then you go to the beach and there is a huge sky with clouds rolling and changing above you and the ocean is roaring and huge with rolling waves that make a loud whumpf sound as they break and the wind is blowing your hair in your eyes and spray and sand are flying and you know that you are definitely not the Creator – that you couldn’t have thought up a single drop of ocean water or made a single cloud.

The day these photographs were taken (the same as the previous post) was that kind of day. These shots don’t begin to show what it was like on the beach. It was such an awesome experience. I give all the credit to my Creator and Lord for this beautiful world and I am thankful for all that I have.

New Friend

We were out for an evening stroll along the bluff tonight and met this little fellow. He seemed quite taken with Dirck.

Moon Rising

This was taken the evening after the super full moon around 8:30.

New Projects

I have updated the projects page on our website. You can see the new page here – Projects.

This new page includes Blizzard on Low Beach, which was featured on our blog before, and two new projects that I have posted some work from but hadn’t completed until recently. Each of these new projects contain 16 photographs, and all projects are offered as folios or prints.

The new projects are -

How Clouds Are Made which was taken on a magical April day last year on Low Beach in Nantucket

And Squam Swamp taken last November.

I am working on updating our website. I’ll let you know when there is some new work up.

Surfside

This past week, Dirck and I went to Surfside. There was a great deal of sand blowing as wind gusts were up around 50 mph. It was one of those days when I had to hold my tripod down with both hands as I took a shot.

Dirck was  shooting further up the beach and said that my feet were often hidden by the shifting sand. It’s that sand that obscures the middle of this scene.

Changing Winter Light

These were all taken tonight by Dirck within a half hour’s time on Smith’s Point.
