Description

"Early Morning Crossing",...or, "Follow that Bird". Looking up at the pilot house of the 328 foot Issaquah Class ferry, Kittitas, that connects the two towns of Mukilteo and Clinton, Washington. That gull is moving...the ferry is traveling at close to 16 knots (18mph, 30kph). Bill:) "Mukilteo Lighthouse"

always good to see you do b&w, I still remember those vietnam shots a ways back, they still have imprinted themselves in me forever. Your contrasts in dark & lights, the undulations of clouds over the sheer lines of the ship's eaves, and the way you caught light on the right side (incl under the eaves themselves---forgive if I don't have a more boat-like term) all add to the drama of b&w, and show how native you are to it. It's like you went into b&w & immediately found its dramas and sensual flows. The highlights on those uppermost "things" on the roof (again, no words in my vocabulary, though they look like lights, maybe speakers & maybe a weather contraption) make them wonderful contrasts to the sky. And the flagpole coming out is another sharp contrast. A fine b&w, with a slightly sepia-greenish tone, and lots of mass met by sweeping space. And the gull is a beautiful presence which, full-view, seems made of light as much as of flesh. Beautiful work, Bill. And a real intuitive understanding of b&w.
