“SEASCAPES 1996 thru 2006”

“Seascapes 1996 thru 2006” is a compilation of images photographed over a ten year period along  the shoreline of the east coast of the United States, in Rockaway Beach, Queens, New York.  The   series consists of 40 images, numbered as Horizontal 1 thru 20 and Vertical 1 thru 20.  

“Seascapes” is a minimal interpretation of sea and sky, explored through scale, color, and   simplicity of image.  

The shoreline provides an inexhaustible supply of infinitely variable forms. The sea and clouds combine to create myriad abstract visual elements.  With my camera I am able to go directly to the source.  I find ready to use what a painter has to create.  

Starting from what is complex, it is possible to reach what is simple and timeless.
