Back to the archives for this image from May 2011. Ever since I found the walkways leading over the rocks and down to the beach at Goldthwait Reservation, I had wanted to photograph them. I had a number of ideas in mind but never had the right conditions for them. Finally on a cloudy day in May, the elements all seemed to come together. I used a wide aperture to decrease the depth of field and waited at the bottom of the walkway for light to come through the thickening clouds. The resultant image was what I hoped for but decided it really needed to be in black and white to highlight the textures – from the wood planks to the smooth rocks and the darkening clouds overhead. Hopefully you’ll see the walkways in a new way when beach season comes around.
