Over the past few years, I’ve experimented with converting some of my color images to B&W. I usually retain the color of the element that drew my attention to the scene. This first image is called, “Bottom’s Up.” Probably a good idea during the spring rainy season and the proliferation of seagulls flying around the waterman’s dock.
I’d like to share some of these photos here:
—In sailing vessel in San Francisco’s Hyde Street Maritime Museum.
—Salty wooden sailboat at mooring in Huntington Harbor, NY.
—Classic way-finding instrument—a Constellation compass,
onboard the Mary E out of Essex, CT.
—Positioned in Huntington Bay at the entrance to Huntington Harbor, NY.
—An oxidized bronze prop on vessel in Greenport, NY.
—About 11 pm—Montauk. A summer custom is to
hang out at the beach by a campfire.
Wonderfull pictures and very intresting touch of colour. I really enjoy “Bowsprit”. Congratulations!!!
