We were driving over the Longfellow Bridge in Cambridge when she noticed the small boats moving in unison on the Charles River, and she said, “They are doing their ballet”. When I came around the east side of Beavertail on this Sunday afternoon, I noticed many small boats performing their ballet. I also noticed the sky and water were a seamless, deep-blue tone.
By the time the camera was set up, the small boats were gone and larger boats were arranged as you see in the print. In his books, Ansel Adams cautioned against the use of empty black areas in an image. This warning was the inspiration for a time I call the “black period”.
Take advantage of what is there, by making use of what is not.

One of my first series of photos that I shot solely for the purpose of making a print series. They were originally shot on a rather nice early Saturday morning drive in August of 2014 through the Cleveland Flats and Industry Valley sections of the city.
The title comes from a specific bend in the Cuyahoga River in the Cleveland Flats that was notorious for a lot of collisions between ships navigating the river through the former industrial hotbed of the city.
