Fine Art Photography Works

Interest has been expressed to me about publishing what I guess would be called contemporary or abstract fine art black and white photography images.  So instead of publishing some new beautiful fine art landscape photography and infrared images I have waiting in the wings, I thought I would do so.

This first image has actually been one of my favorites for some time now:

The Pile - a lone piling on the beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina

It has been sitting in an unpublished gallery for about two years.  I’m not quite sure why I like this image so much.  Perhaps it’s the composition or the lighting.  Or perhaps it’s the simplicity – the openness, the wide-open spaciousness.  I don’t know.  But somehow my brain tells me it is pleasing to my eye.

The image is of a lone piling on a beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.  Probably from a pier or a boat launch platform long ago destroyed by one of the many hurricanes and tropical storms that sweep over the Outer Banks.  It sits right on the tide line so sometimes it’s surrounded by sandy beach, at other times it’s surrounded by the ocean.

I’ve had it on my “to-do” list to photograph it again, but that may now not be possible.  The last time I was at this somewhat remote location, the pile had been enclosed inside a protective no-trespass zone that protects nesting sea turtles and birds on OBX.  But the zones are constantly being moved around with the seasons and nesting behaviors so it may be accessible again sometime in the future.

The second image is a little more abstract:

The Creeper - Infrared image of ivy creeping up a brick wall

This is an infrared image of vines of ivy creeping up a brick wall.  I like the detail and texture of the brick wall and the ivy vines.  The infrared gives it a nice abstract quality.  This shot actually looks very nice when framed with a black frame and matted with a white and/or grey matte.

Stay tuned.  More pictures to be published to the gallery soon.
