With the intensity of fall storms and the end of hurricane season it is reasonable see how our thoughts can turn to the natural environment. For those who live in Tidewater Virginia the Ocean and Bay are the closest source of connection to the environment. In the plains of the Midwest it may be the wheat fields that stretch for miles, or in the West, mountain ranges that border the earth in all directions. And while what is not evident to the land based observer that the residents "in" the ocean are as diverse as those on land, it is true that it is a whole new world. The energy that is released during fall storms affect all those along the coast. These areas become zones of abstraction, dynamic monuments to the activity that is caused by day to day interactions between land and water. Some of my images here are the result of pondering of what happens in natural events. The result is a constant reminder to me that the forces of nature still can dominate, even when man in his intelligence and resourcefulness, tries to intervene and shape the land.
