Inspiration by Bresson and Adams

The work of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Ansel Adams never fails to inspire me to reach higher and try harder with my photography. Bresson with his wonderful urban European shots of people going about their day and Adams with his fabulous captures of nature. I do not compare myself to these two geniuses in anyway, but wish to share my latest black and white photo that was inspired by the work of these two icons in photography.

This black and white photograph was taken at Second Beach in Olympic National Park, WA, USA. On this warm "end of summer" day, the surf was rough and the breakers coming in were crashing against the rocky shoreline.

  4. You can really get a sense of how powerful the waves forcing up against the rocks are. The spray almost seems to leap out of the screen. I just sat here awhile and stared into it. Beautiful shots, girl.

    Ya'll have yourself one fantastically blessed day.

  6. Those waves are so powerful! We went to the coast today and there's a storm coming in and I thought of how you'd be able to capture those huge waves in photos.

  7. Incredible! Oh how I miss the ocean and yet on looking upon this magnificent shot I can almost hear the crash and swirl of the waves, smell the tang of salt in the air and feel a fine mist of ocean spray upon my skin. How utterly reviving!
