The Ocean
I just sort of happened on this massive nor'easter in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I shot this just minutes after an exhaustive, incredible morning, afternoon and late afternoon of surfing. I ended up getting stuck on the island for 3 days due to the roads leaving being flooded out. Was I upset? Look at those waves. I was very, very content...
Time for reflection.

This dolphin swam right up to the side of the boat and I quickly snapped this image with 35mm black and white film.

The beaches of Daufuskie Island are primitive, unspoiled places of beauty. Local laws prevent you from building within a certain distance of the shores and so the trees come right up to the beach.

The empty sandy beaches of Daufuskie Island are breathtaking.

I occasionally like to fill the frame with as much detail as possible. This was created in Acadia National Park. I believe that by composing the image in this manner, you essentially create a design, as much as a landscape.
