Yachats Waves
While traveling down the coast we were nearly always in the midst of stormy weather. The wind was blowing and the waves pounding. It may not have been the perfect weather for vacationing, but as a working vacation for a photographer it was nearly ideal. Even in the storm, there is beauty to be found, we just have to look for it. This same concept applies to life as well.
In Yachats Waves, you can’t see the storm, only the beauty that it brings. These rocks are 10-12 feet above the ocean. The waves are pounding into the rock and washing over the tops, and then the water returns to the sea below. What looks like a stream is really the aftermath of that violent collision of an ocean wave with the rocky shoreline. Making this image was not easy. We climbed out onto the rocky shelf, dodging the water as it washed ashore. Christeena actually was holding an umbrella to protect our gear from the spray of sea water as the waves hit the rocks in front and beside us. We did take risks. We did get wet. We did get the shot. We must pay the price in order to reap the reward.
