Boats
March 13th, 2009 | Published in Photography
I’ve got the non-pregnancy-related nesting syndrome. When I’m home, not on the computer (and not playing tic tac toe with my youngest) I’m sorting through paper files, boxes, and closets. I’m clearing, re-arranging, and discarding.
While in the midst of a recent nesting “episode” I came across a few photos that I love. They were taken at least 10 years ago at one of my very favorite harbors. As I’ve mentioned before, my husband loves boats and harbor-exploring is a favorite activity of his (mine, too, if I have a camera with me!).
It was a beautiful summer day and we were with friends. My husband and his friend studied the boats, dreaming about their next ones, while my friend and I took photographs.
One reason I love photographing boats is their often brilliant gel coat colors. I also love the many details and patterns found on boats; so I often focus on smaller aspects of the bigger picture. This day was a little different as my eyes were constantly drawn to the boat reflections in the water. Often harbor water is not the cleanest (I should know because I once found myself swimming in harbor water, but that’s a whole other story…you can ask my husband about it). But this day, the harbor water was a brilliant and beautiful blue.
Have a great weekend!
