Throughout my life, it has always been my goal to capture tack sharp, technically perfect photos.
Back in the days of 35mm, this was no easy feat… I often chose to manually focus my Nikon lens, which made shooting in the surf that much more challenging.
Fast forward many years, I realized that I now wanted to convey something different about what I see through my lens…
… it was how I experienced the movement of water and its feeling of power, grace and beauty.
I have been honing the technique of capturing the senses ignited in and around the ocean in my abstract photos for many years now…
Abstract imagery allows the viewer to experience the feeling of the moment through the heart more that seeing it with your eyes.
On this dark winter’s morning, I was at the beach in Carlsbad at 6:00am sharp, just in time to capture the fleeting beauty of this moment.
Rose Quartz was captured with the first click of my shutter.
I love the soft rose-toned mist flying off the face of a gilded wave… set against the neutral grey canvas of the cool Pacific Ocean, it was a moment of true beauty I will never forget.
