Time's Blur
Time passes, streaking color across my frame, leaving behind evidence of the fleeting dusk light.
Waves crash as the wind gusts. Fog rolls in to reclaim the horizon, proving to be more dangerous than the expected and tangible.
The expansive granite sea line, so stoic and un-moving, absorbing the incoming seas, only to return it as foam.
The time goes one way, but the tide goes two. Rhythmically making it seem likes a perpetual loop.
The Northern Atlantic, cold and made of salt, preserves its memories in the grains.
Time passes, streaking tones across my frame, leaving behind evidence of the fleeting dusk light.

“The two most powerful warriors are patience and time”
When I showed these images to my father, and told him that these are waves smoothed over by the length of the exposure time during the capture process. I explained to him that my goal was to transform the chaotic forces of the waves clashing with the rocks into something serene.
His observation had really taken me back. He said, “it’s like chaos subsides with time.”
These images quickly became a visual representation of how we can find ourselves in stressful situations, and sometimes, the best solution is give it time.
