Turtle Bay – 2017

Sandpipers

My Black & White image “Sandpipers” will be on display at the West Coast Biennial Juried Art Exhibition at Turtle Bay Exploration Park in Redding, Ca.

A little background info on the photo: it was taken in Sonoma County in a marshy area, that was quite muddy and unappealing – surrounded by a bunch of litter and debris. By printing the photo in Black & White, I was able to obscure this aspect of the surroundings while at the same time capturing the beauty, motion, and liveliness of the rambunctious baby sandpipers who had caught my eyes and heart.

I discovered this botanical image while editing my body of work recently. Sometimes it’s good to see things with fresh eyes. Originally captured in color, I converted this image to black & white — a superior photo in that format — bringing out all the textural nuances I believe.
