As Hurricane Earl heads up the Atlantic coastline – I thought I’d head to the beach to see what the waves were looking like (with all the talk about closing beaches, I figured it might be worth a visit). The waves were definitely churning powerfully – but they really weren’t anything too remarkable.
What I did find was a gorgeous sky, a nice cool breeze coming off the water, a thin fog, and a ton of people (& their dogs) enjoying being at the ocean on a summer night.
Your work puts in mind of Joel Meyorowitz, who, I’m sure you know, built his early reputation on powerful compositions lit by the pastel strata of the late day Cape Cod sky. You’re in good company, in other words, – the seacoast is lucky to have you!
I love that first image. So simple, and the soft colors. Perfect.
