“Quit trying to find beautiful objects to photograph. Find the ordinary objects so you can transform it by photographing it.” - Morley Baer
Clues. I'm always looking for clues, the little details that reveal the bigger picture. What can I find that shows me that something happened where I'm standing? Animal tracks, wind-bent tree trunks, matted grasses, and repeated patterns in the sand are all different clues to what an area is all about, what lives there, and what might happen next. I love this type of exploration and how it makes my photography such a personal, memorable experience. As I wrote in my post on May 8, 2021...
As our beautiful rotating Earth travels along it elliptical orbit, the sun and the moon exert their varying gravity on our planet. This celestial ballet raises and lowers the water level of our seas and oceans. In turn, water either rushes into or out of our coastal inlets, helping to keep our estuaries just the right salinity. Combined with the surprising tidal effects of wind in our inland bays, Indian River Bay and Rehoboth Bay both have daily tidal behavior. In ‘Trace of Ebb Tide,’ we can see a curved pool of water left behind as the tide receded one evening, sparkling evidence that the gravitational interplay between our world, our star, and our lunar satellite continues.
