Florida Sunrise I

This image is a compilation of photos taken during one ocean sunrise. The sunrise happened fast, so all the image variations were taken within a 15-minute period and later assembled in keeping with my technique “Image Architecture” where my approach to constructing the image is to first break apart a scene into component parts by taking many photographs of the scene from myriad angles then use those parts as the building blocks for reconstructing a new scene with minimalist, geometric, and architectural overtones. I have been focusing my photography on scenes of the Florida coastline and other subjects of natural beauty to focus attention on its fragile, ever-changing beauty and the important role we humans play in the formula to preserve it. I try to give my photographs a multi-faceted beauty that inspires participation in the ecological movement to save these preciously beautiful natural resources.
