Four scenes of guys in a variety of activities. I shot the construction workers in the first from my plane at JFK Airport - I love the juxtaposition of the metal angles with the figures. The second, taken at dawn on Huntington Beach near Los Angeles, creates a similar contrast between the angularity of the volleyball nets and the guys warming up to play. The third and fourth were shot in Hawaii: the third, also at dawn, as bikers prepared to ride up Haleakala Crater, Maui's sleeping volcano, to see the sunrise; and the fourth, on a boat ride coming out of a cave along the Na Pali Coast of Kauai.
As a grouping of photographs, the first two and the last two are related pairs. They are fine with each other. The two pairs, however, don't work for me as a conjoined whole.
I especially like the first two for the reasons you've pointed out.
I am passionate about photography. I find joy in the unique combination of light, color, line, and pattern that I capture as I look through the lens. Photography builds on serendipity; I am challenged to create from what the environment provides. I photograph to express my experience, to attend to what I might otherwise miss, and to connect with others.
Macro photography, landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes, as well as images portraying the variety and universality of human experience, all appeal.
I’m using this blog to explore juxtapositions, pairing photos that have something in common and something different; themes and variations; different angles on an idea. Hope you enjoy.
