Driftwood

Driftwood and rocks, Cape Meares, Oregon iphone photo black and whiteHappenstance put together this interesting photo: There was something about the natural arrangement of this driftwood at Cape Meares, Oregon that caught my eye. What I had with me was my iPhone equipped with my favorite app; 645 Pro.

It’s hard to see the screen in sunlight but I framed it up with the most natural balance I could see, and took the photo. It was only later, out of the sun, that I discovered the most interesting elements: The dark line of clouds in the sky falls on a diagonal, and mirrors the diagonals of the driftwood pile. In the distance on the left, you see people on the beach, walking toward the center of the photo; on the upper right, birds fly left. I don’t know how it could have been more perfect.

American Dream

American Dream an abstract impressionist pop art photography piece

American Dream is an abstract impressionist pop art photography piece, primarily for my own enjoyment. A real life couple living something that might not be a dream, but is closer to American reality for many.

For what it’s worth, my family was often homeless when I was growing up so it’s really nothing new.  As a culture, we prefer to look the other way;  to blame the victim. It’s so much easier than just admitting to what is….

I think about these people from time to time, and remember how close I am to being there with them.
