Acerca del libro
The reasons were simple I wanted to slow down in my art and to allow the longer exposure time to revel the oceans meditate quality.
The pinhole forced me to use a tripod and find my spots with care rather than just randomly shooting the bay with out much thought as it often the case with 35mm digital or film cameras.
I waited for the light to change and the tides to begin. I carried my camera with me always keeping an eye on the water and the changing weather stopping when conditions warranted.
I chose the diptych format, because it accentuates the movement of the water – you see rocks until the tide washes over them only to be uncovered a minute or two later. The process duplicates itself repeatedly, as it has for generations – a record of the passage of time. The film’s colors are subdued through long exposures, overcast days and the pinhole’s lack of a real lens.
This series was photographed along Ocean Drive, which runs along side Corpus Christi Bay in Corpus Christi Texas.
