Variations on a Foggy Rodeo Beach at Dawn Theme
For a new self-directed photography class, I elected to shoot a series of photos based on invisible forces of nature, which were to focus on the unseen forces of gravity and magnetism. So, I got up at dawn to shoot high tide at Rodeo Beach. It was very foggy. My favorite picture didn't even include the tide. And when I thought about it, I realized every photo ever shot represents invisible forces of nature. So I shifted gears and decided to do variations on a theme instead. The theme is my dawn photo session in the fog. The variations reflect different techniques. Here's what I ended up with:
Top to Bottom
1 and 5: Original printed photos, taken at Rodeo Beach, of Fort Cronkhite and of the high tide
2: A digital patchwork of 3" square sections taken from several foggy photos
3. The Fort Cronkhite scene printed on fabric, then quilted and machine and hand embroidered
4. A digital composite of the Fort Cronkhite scene with a photo of my father in 1942, in the army during WWII, combined with a periodic table of the elements and a table of fundamental force particles. My brainy father, who I miss, was a rocket scientist, chemist, lawyer, artist and photographer. He would have understood the science. He hated the army.
6: A reshoot of the original foggy high tide photo with two wooden artist models playing with a red rubber ball.
