Thinking Outside the Box

Thinking Outside the Box

This photo I took with the seascape works of Hiroshi Sugimoto in mind.  Like myself, influenced by the writings and works of Marcel Duchamp, as well as the Dadaist and Surrealist movements.  Hiroshi Sugimoto took photos of many different oceans and seas in black and white using a large format camera. With his works in mind, as well as one of our old assignments on abstract I decided to take my Nikon D50 and use a semi-long exposure on an angle during a sunset on the beach and take a photo with the water blurred. The end result was this vibrant blue ocean with an orange/pink sky with barely enough detail to tell it’s the ocean.
