Sea, Sky, Light…

Three variables that interact with one another, sometimes subtly, others – not so. Three media for the photographers palette; tarry a moment and understand why we who go, or at one time went, to the sea were drawn nigh…

"The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy.
It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides."
- Jules Verne

. . . these are the times of dreamy quietude, when beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean’s skin,
one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and would not willingly remember, that this velvet paw but conceals a remorseless fang.
- Herman Melville

. . . there is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.
- Joseph Conrad

. . . it must be remembered that the sea is a great breeder of friendship.
Two men who have known each other for twenty years find that twenty days at sea bring them nearer than ever they were before, or else estrange them.
- Gilbert Parker

“Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again.
When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.”
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
