Wave-Forms; Fact, Reality, Immediacy, Part Four; Maui, 2017
Posts much earlier this year focused (in the larger, non-photographic sense) on the dramatic crash and boom of breaking surf and on the intriguing plasticity of waves as they begin to break. Those images tended to depict both the brute power of waves and some of their showiest aspects.
In comparison, the goal with the current series of Wave-Forms posts is to increase appreciation of other, more subtle, parts of ocean waves, their ripples, riffs, shadows, and textures.
Comments
After a lifetime of mainly expressing myself with words, my postings here will mainly rely on images. They will speak for themselves to some extent, but I'll usually add a few comments of explanation. I've taken photographs for decades, since the 1950's, inspired in part by my father's photographic skill. Four years of photo assignments and quality darkroom time eventually gave way to decades of casual and family picture-taking. I re-immersed myself when I left film and turned to digital.
