I've lived around water my entire life and this is the subject I choose to photograph the most. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest the ocean, bays, lakes, straights, sloughs, and waterways are commonly seen. I feel at home around water and frequently seek out subjects that involve it. Life can become hectic and convoluted at times and seascape photography is my antidote. I typically favor minimalistic compositions and utilize long exposure techniques in order to subtract distractions. My hope is to evoke an emotional reaction and sense of wonder with the viewer.
