Flow No.47 - Limited Edition of 10 Photograph

A cold, clear, and windy early morning in December. My wife's soft breathing was in time with the waves breaking outside our hotel window on Jacksonville Beach in Florida. Though I wanted to stay in bed, I had promised myself I would be up and on the beach before sunrise. I gathered my gear and quietly went outside to meet the sun. I was greeted by a cold wind, the sound of waves and sea gulls, and a sublime color pallete. As a child, I remember being fascinated by the vision of motion. Sitting in the back seat of the car, head against the window, my eyes focused on a single, ever changing spot racing past, transfixed me. It was an abstract, flowing vision that had wonderful linear patterns and colors and created a mesmerizing effect. “Flow” is a series of images that recaptures the sense of hypnotic motion I viewed as a kid in the back seat of the car. A sense that you know what you are seeing, yet you don’t. A sense of familiarity and strangeness all in the same gaze. A world of color and motion... all while my perceived state was motionless. This image is a motion-blur of the pier at Jacksonville Beach, Florida and was the winner of the Merit of Excellence Award at the 6th Annual Photography Masters Cup. It is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 with Archival Pigments. The image size is 40 inches x 40 inches with a 2" border for a final work that measures 44 inches x 44 inches. Signed and numbered on the front, it also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and is shipped in a crush-resistant tube. You can also acquire the image in various open edition sized prints with a choice of framing or as a gallery-wrapped canvas.
