Full Moon, September 1, 2020. Sarsaota, Florida

This time of year Sarasota has dramatic skies. Beyond the the beauty of nature there is an opportunity to experience in an elemental way the energy of connection between heaven and earth. Sometimes the clouds are dark and foreboding and even then behind the darkness there is light. Taking time to be present and take in the moment can be a teaching. Nature is the source.

Skies of SARASOTA
July through September in Sarasota, Florida produces a showcase of skyscapes and cloud dramas.

Serene night on the Gulf of Mexico
My friend and fellow photographer, Peter Silvia made an astute observation about a recently curated collection of my images showcasing water.
“You know Wayne these images of water are really about serenity”.
Images can be more about feeling than the fact of the subject.
This is particularly the case when when we are in a state of union with the subject we are observing.
I hope when you look at the images I’ll share in the coming days you find that they give you a moment of serenity.

Reflection of boats, Martinique
While scouting locations for a Nautica fashion shoot in Martinique I saw this wonderful play of color. The color was from boats in the marina reflecting onto the surface of the water.

I love the feeling of this image. It is as if I am small and moving among the tulips looking up at the sun coming down through the petals and leaves.
