This Month's Photograph
This photograph is from Crane Beach in Ipswich, MA. I have gone to
this beach every year since I have been a child. I have photographed
this particular area many times over many years with a variety of
cameras and lenses. In the summer this area is filled with picnic
benches where people can purchase lunch. The shadows from the enclosure
make interesting patterns on the people. The patterns of the shadows in
this empty space are also equally as interesting without the summer
benches and people. Lately I have been making triptychs in a wide
variety of settings and am experimenting further into polyptych
composition or compositions that are made in sections - primarily
quadriptychs (4 sections), pentaptychs (5 sections) and hexaptychs (6 sections).
I am drawn to making these photographs for their ability to expand wide
angle perspective in a way that is uniquely different from what is
captured with a wide angle lens.
