State Pier #5 in Narragansett is a gateway between worlds. You can leave the bustle of town behind as you enter the mighty Atlantic, or just stare at it from the magnificent rocky coastline. One of the things I love about this place photographically is how you can create an array of images from a single spot. All three images in this post were created within feet of each other.

On a good day, the wave that breaks in front of the dock can be as menacing as it is perfect. Surfers gather from all over for their chance to catch that mesmerising view. Other times, when the waves are small and empty, I like to let my shutter lag while I catch a couple from shore.

~ Rain ~ is one of my all-time favorite images and currently hangs in our dining room, though she is available. One overcast morning, the tide was high as waves crashed into the lot. I timed a surge with a slow-shutter click, giving the splash a rain-like quality.

Over the years I’ve created a lot of images from the dock, mostly during early morning walks with our fifteen-year-old border collie, Tori. As public as this spot can be, it never fails to calm my soul. This particular image is currently available for a special price printed at 48” x 48” on recycled dye-sublimated aluminum.
