I love the beaches along that stretch of Lake Superior! They're one of my favorite places to swim. I go there every summer when I visit my parents in Ashland.
Very interesting! I love seeing the rocks and driftwood in my beloved Lake Superior shore which was where I often played until dinner time. Those were more innocent times. Thank you for explaining your process of photography.
Each of us has an “automatic setting” that delivers an impression based on how it has been pre-calibrated. So, it’s easy to understand how Iconography - crucifixes, aliens - can become the default images our eye sees through the viewfinder.
By choosing instead to use our manual settings, different lenses, perspectives and light sources, the world presents a much more novel and grander scale of possibilities.
This photo is not only a remarkable image, but also a great teacher for photographers and viewers alike.
Loved all the photos, but I think the first one is the most visually striking. It's clearly driftwood in both versions to me, but I have a stronger emotional reaction to the first.
And yes, my eye did move more gradually towards the horizon as opposed to having a horizontal break cutting the momentum. Really enjoyed this essay, Bryan!

Your comments and analysis resonate so well with the way I think about Photography
I wish I could see the side image first because now I can't stop seeing crucifix in both

Like the first one better, but the 2nd one looks kind of mysterious/spooky
