Surf

We watched the waves break, the surf rush up the beach and retreat.

Wintery, Watery West Pier

Walking home on a wintery afternoon we came to West Pier in a dusky light and stopped to see the starlings gather for their daily murmuration.

I took an ICP course in the Spring with Harvey Stein on photo books and administrative help was provided by Parsons Photography MFA student Agnes An, whose grad show at Parsons I attended last month, where I saw the above.

Windy Day

We have hardly ever seen waves of any size here. On this day, at the end of May, the wind was whipping them up.

You can see Atlantic City casinos far in the distance on the left…

Sunrise at the Beach

Dawn at the Beach, 3

Dropped the shutter speed down to 1/2 second to get an even dreamier blur (tripod, remote, circular polarizing filter – I didn’t have the ND I needed).

And yet again from the archive. Another oldie from a 2003 trip to Charleston, South Carolina. 2MP jpeg blown up too big and saved. An early composition.
