Nauset

Late in the afternoon, I drove my friend’s borrowed pickup to the beach at Nauset on Cape Cod in time to shoot the 20 + photos at the ocean’s edge before the sun sank below the dunes. The beach was deserted, footprints the only sign of human activity, the ocean immense. I consolidated the photos into a seamless, horizontal, 360 degree panorama that allowed me to see what was behind me at the same time as what was in front. I was surprised to see the footprints in the sand around where I stood become the dominant element in the picture. Is this work a photograph? Or a print, ceramic, or painting? All of the above.
