| "Marshall Boat Works No. 7" 2014
Last year I spent a week on the northeastern shore of Tomales Bay, a beautiful inlet of the Pacific Ocean just north of San Francisco. The bay actually forms the eastern boundary of Point Reyes National Seashore which is geographically separated from the continental United States by a fault zone.
Known for their oysters farms and fisheries, Tomales Bay is a wild and largely unspoiled stretch of land. With a bit of time to explore, I was able to meander around the various towns that dotted either side of the bay with time to think about shape and form.
Between eating the last of the oysters to be pulled out of Drakes Bay at Tony's Seafood Restaurant and spending time at the seashore, I was visually drawn to Marshall Boat Works where I ended up walking around, marveling at the watery vessels docked on dry land. The boats were in various states of disrepair and were just the fodder I was looking to photograph in black and white.
The following images are the result of that weekend of looking and the abstract forms that evolved from being surrounded by the bay, the boats and the undulating sound of the water against the shore.
