Description
[real title: us & the sea]

Inspiration
10

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach(to play one day)

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles,and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles:and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea

– maggie and milly and molly and mae by E. E. Cummings
I love the sea, the infinite horizon —
with the faint whisper of contact between water and sky like two distant lovers.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

Technique
This photo was taken at Cape Spear, Newfoundland, the most easterly point in North America. When I took it I was imagining reaching across the ocean to faraway land. The foreground of the lighthouse is meant to provide a contextual 'starting place' for the journey across the seven seas.

I edited this with several different filters, added a vignette and the text. The white text matches the white lighthouse and the line provides a sort of balance for the piece.
