INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT

These "intentional camera movement" images of the Coastal Tides began with the loss of a colleague, Howard Frye. During a discussion in the months prior to his death, I discovered we both enjoyed the work of Hiroshi Sugimoto. To remember my colleague and pay tribute to his love of art, I created a series of images that are inspired by Sugmioto’s Seascapes. There is something healing about water. Many often find nature to be a place of healing, especially after loss. I enjoyed making the tribute piece for Howard so much I have continued to photograph water through intentional camera movement. The universal qualities that water possesses draws people to it. In many religions, water symbolizes life and purification. When water is captured without the presence of man it could be viewed in a way in which time does not matter or is not represented.
