Winter Wave
Feeling the power of the charging waves, I photographed this cascade of water in the ever changing light. Physics defines a wave as an oscillation traveling through the middle world of space and matter, transferring various amounts of energy, depending on the size of the waveform. These coastal waves were definitely transferring a lot of energy from one point to another. The air was electric with negative ions, as the incoming high tide crashed into the outgoing low tide. This wonderful location is near the small Oregon beach town of Yachats on the Oregon Coast.

Creating portals of light, love, joy, beauty, compassion, hope and gratitude is my lifelong passion and purpose. My mother painted when i was young and encouraged drawing and painting and handcrafting in all forms and my father, the photographer, gave me my first camera at age 8. As a result, i have been a lifelong student of both mediums. Formal training of my eye and technique has been with the wonderful Pacific NW painter teachers, Stan Capon and Edi Olson. i hope you will enjoy these images as much as i enjoyed their creation.
