Experimenting with HDR and Oceanscapes

I have a new body of work inspired by my childhood of growing up on the Atlantic Ocean coastline in PB County, Florida. There is something inherently beautiful about the ocean or any body of water within each state of being. One of my first memories of a significant body of water was in Vermont. I woke early and alone walked to the dock to watch the sunrise. I can remember the details of the water: her color, the water dew bugs, and the steam rising as the sun rose. I was only 12 or 13 years old, but the majestic presence and beauty left me in awe. This morning, over 20 years (wow!) later the wind was blowing and the ocean surf was ruff with rip currents. The power of water is amazing to me. I am experimenting a bit with HDR and combining multiple frames of exposures without any hint of being overly processed. As most of my colleagues and clients know, I am dedicated to creating work of photographic integrity, as I did in the wet darkroom.  


So, check out my new portfolio of work: Oceaneana:
