Scrape
Scrape: To graze across or on something. The sunbeam scraped the sea. Scrape: A difference of opinion or predicament. Is this image literal? Abstract? Impressionistic? (Nikon D850; Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 ED VR zoom.)

The Blue Muse
This is one of my favorite seascape horizon photographs: How Blue Can You Get? Some photos present themselves to me on a platter. Some are made. This is both—although in this case the platter was more of a blue plate special. February 7, 2013, Sonoma County Coast. I was driving up the coast with my wife, looking forward to a winter weekend on the bluffs. The driver in me was trying to beat an impending […]
Constable Clouds
December 24, 2018, Sonoma County Coast. I took a walk on the bluffs on Christmas Eve. A little while before sunset, sunbeams drew a broad “A” behind a rapidly moving, billowing cloud bank.

Over the next few minutes, many exposures were made. One was chosen. On this Christmas […]
Seascapes
I spent some time on the Holidays going over work from years gone by. I find that when I do this, I come across treasures that were overlooked the first time around.

I wasn’t particularly in search of any of these scenes on the […]

Abstract comes from Latin abstrahere “to pull away, detach.” Abstraction pulls away and detaches from the representational and moves into the conceptual. These were taken at Point Reyes near Chimney Rock. The views are 180° apart, taken within minutes of each other. One looks back toward Drake’s Bay and the hills of the Point Reyes peninsula. The other looks out to sea. (Nikon D850, Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 G2.) More fine art photography at www.amagaphoto.com
