Actually this was the first of the series…an experiment, exploration…and I loved the painterly quality so I decided to experiment with some other photos of the same subject that I took that day. I had looked for color at the Northport marina in early November and most of the boats were gone but I did find a cluster to work with. Stained and weathered wood, bright colors, shadows, reflections and varied water tempos provided the visual stimuli to take these photos several months before Ward and I met and began our collaboration. Reflections were always of interest to me because water caused colors to undulate and I loved the fluidity…and then I discovered that I could use technology to make my work more fluid.
