Sea + Sand + Sky

The power of water.

These dramatic black and white photographs have no night scenes or people, no wide shots or grand scale. Without titles or any necessary order, they rely solely for impact on their sensuous properties: texture, pattern and the transformative play of light and shadow.

—Jean Lawlor Cohen, Writer/Editor, Where Magazine

A drop of water from a river can rise into the atmosphere and join other molecules to become vapors or clouds. After traveling in the air, the same drop of water—along with other droplets—can fall through the sky in the form of rain to reach, and possibly reshape, earth's surface. Eventually, the drop may nourish a plant, or find its way to an ocean's shore… With these thoughts, I decided to pursue a visual narrative that (1) could capture the power of nature, as well as (2) begin a new technique of utilizing multiple images to chronicle the dynamic transformations that occur in our environment.
