FLYING DUTCHMAN © 1982Newport Beach, CA
According to legend, the Flying Dutchman was a ghost ship destined to sail the seven seas forever, never to reach the harbor. I felt that this was an apt title for this image because, at that time, I, too, was adrift as I struggled to find compelling subjects to photograph in Florida. Inspired by Salvador Dalí’s dream-like scenes and wanting to try something new, I sought to capture a more fantastical image by double-exposing a space image with an image of a square rigger I had taken in Newport Beach, California.
