Variations on a Theme [ 4 ]
Intensity through Shades of Grey !
Gales and Gusts felt upon the Skin; Oceans roaring sounds like Thunder !
Raindrops beating on the cheek cause Darts of Pain,
The eye Discerns and returns Another Time, to Capture
another Shade of Grey. Moving waters stilled in salted gelatin,
another way........a variation.......

One might think that as a photographer visiting the same location again
and again and again would be wasted effort. But it is not so. I can imagine
a portfolio of a hundred images all using the same location becoming a
portfolio of an immense variety of scenes only governed by the individuals
ability to control the production process. And so I regularly return to the
coastline of Cape Anne Massachusetts to obtain base images that I then
work with in the darkroom to produce a final photograph. The opportunities
are endless. And the space and sensations experienced in obtaining the
are worth their weight in pure gold. I'll be back again...
