Along the Rocky Shore

Warm silhouettes give way to blue coves, a distant marker, and framed views across the water.

A light leak and a backlit profile open on a warm sea horizon. The view then widens toward sunlit waves and a steep rocky cove.

A lone bird, white waterfront marker, distant boat, and stretched canopy record the smaller forms encountered along the coast.

Land & Water

  • Rock, Water, and Color - The sequence alternates broad landscape views with closer studies of people, foliage, and concrete before recognizable scenery gives way to overlapping colors and linear marks.
  • Between Deck and Open Water - Water, deck surfaces, railings, reflections, people, and distant land establish changing scales between the boat and its surroundings.
  • Along the Waterline - Changes in scale, backlighting, and natural framing connect boats, a small turtle, distant figures, palms, reflective water, and the low sun.
  • Fronds, Shore, and Ship - A study of changing scale across foliage, recreational beach space, open water, maritime architecture, and people within large white structures.
  • Loosies (2) - A loose sequence of standalone frames held together by water: views down from a ship's height, an abstract pane of hazy light, one crowded burst of costumed musicians, and wide, nearly empty beaches.
  • Sunset - A three-frame study of a single low sun over open water: the sun on the horizon, an overlapping translucent structure sharing the same sky, and the amber horizon light that remains once no sun is visible.
  • Shoreline to Backroad - Eight frames that begin at the waterline under overcast light, brighten into a sunlit beach with a posed pair, and end on a road with a motorcycle rider and a cattle truck.
  • A Snow-Capped Peak Above Layered Ridgelines - A sequence of high-altitude views looking down across layered ridgelines toward one recurring snow-capped peak, its position, haze, and framing shifting from frame to frame.
