Bob Stevens “La Onda Azul” November 23, 2016

As still photographers, we have the ability to choose between capturing the world in front of our lenses objectively or subjectively. When a moment is preserved with subjectivity, it becomes an interpretation rather than a documentation. This image came to be with the intention of representing the constant movement of the ocean’s waves, albeit in a way we cannot see with the human eye. With the camera on a tripod, I chose a slow shutter speed, and activated the shutter at the moment of climactic completion. This wave released it’s energy on the sand in front of me, energy generated by wind, hundreds or even thousands of miles away. I watched as the climax faded, and that energy destined to play out it’s final act on the coast of California, returned to the sea from which it came. When home, I began to play with the pixels my camera and I had brought into existence. Adding more color here and there, more contrast here and less contrast there, the process of image gestation flooded my being. This is what I do. Thank you to the Wind and Water, Sun and Sky, for bringing countless visual possibilities to my life every day. It’s quite frankly, humbling.
