Gallery Posting - The Eastern Shore Series
The images in this series were taken late-winter in the Mid-atlantic coastal region of the United States during a storm that is known as a "Nor'easter." I wanted to show these usually busy resorts in their bare form, without the hundreds of thousands of tourists who normally inhabit the region during the Spring, Summer and Fall months. Included in the series are images from Rehobeth Beach and Cape Henlopen, Delaware, as well as Ocean City and Assateague Island in Maryland.
All of the images were taken with a digital camera with a wide-angle lens in natural light and then altered in Photoshop to more accurately reflect the surreal and somewhat haunting essence of the experience. Although I would have chosen to use a pinhole camera or perhaps even a "Holga" to capture some of these images, gale force winds and driving rain with near-freezing temperatures dictated a more practical approach to my choice of equipment.
I tried to attain a black and white "Pinhole" or older camera and film effect because that was the media that I envisioned in my mind's eye at the time that I made the exposures.
To view the images, please click on the gallery link on the front page of this blog or go here:
I haven't figured out how to link back to my main blog page yet, so if you want to go "home" after viewing the gallery, just got to your browser URL line and delete the letters back to the blogphotog.com line.
