Chatham Dory
I think this is the final image I shot last fall. The sky that day was bright and cloudless and I couldn't find any subject matter at all (hard light is normally not my ally). In the car for two hours and not shooting any film is a real let down, but then driving around Chatham trying to find something to shoot, I turned off of the main road to see if I could find a way to the water. Just before sunset I fell upon this fisherman's work boat perched in the sand at Ryder Cove. It seemed as though its owner had lined it up with the sun for me and then walked away. I had about 20 minutes of light so I was able to casually shoot without being pressed for time like I am when the sky is in the scene. I thought the seaweed stuck in the bow looked like a beard.
