KEEWAYDIN ISLAND © 1996Barrier Island, Naples, FL
I had been casually strolling along the beach when I came across this log washed ashore. It sat there in solitude, looking like a lonely animal. I opted to accentuate this feeling of loneliness by taking a long exposure. The blurring of the waves and clouds created a gentle contrast against the log’s hard contours. When I printed the image, I was drawn to the interplay between soft and hard elements and was glad to have stumbled upon this scene.
