Sunrise, P'town Harbor

The sun is the prime mover of the wind, weather and tides, forces that have reshaped the glacial debris of Cape Cod. This picture also represents one of the themes in this collection, the division of space into two halves: earth/sky, or sea/sky. I found, while shooting around the Outer Cape, that the square format of my picture frame naturally lent itself to compositions that were balanced by this bilateral division. This photograph was taken at the foot of Mechanic Street where I went to shoot the sun coming up over Beach Point, but found that the most interesting view was the one of more subtle colors towards Long Point.
