Foggy Morning on the Coast
We’re off to the Oregon coast! Yesterday was our last day of school and I finished up the grading, cleaned the computer lab and now we’re off to create more photographs. I am so looking forward to this next week. It has been a good year, however my batteries are nearly spent and need some recharging. When I need a fresh outlook on life, either of two things will do the trick, cycling or photographing. Anytime I can get some time away with just Christeena and our cameras, then that wins out over cycling, so this next week that is what we are doing.
The image that I posted today is one from my last trip to the Oregon coast. We had fog the entire week. I am not sure what it is about this image, but I like it. Shot in color, but due to the fog it is monochromatic. It has a very soft feel to it, very simple. the treeline has some interesting shape to it and draws me in. I want to see into the fog and find the detail, but I cannot. It is mysterious. It is a unique feel that is hard to describe in words, so I’ll quit trying.
I’m sure that this trip will be very different. Every trip always is. I will find new subjects and different light. I may choose to photograph the same subjects, but with different lighting conditions and vantage points. I am sure that my mood and feelings will be different, and that will affect my image making. How we feel affects our vision. I am excited to find out what I will see, how I will see and how I will interpret the world in photographs this week.
Stay tuned for a glimpse into the world of Terrell Moffett…
