In the artist’s own words: “My first night on the boarder of France ended in a night walk on the beach. Out of the haze loomed these peculiarly scraggly trees, the likes of which I’ve never seen before, offset by the distant lighthouse. Captivated by the ambiance, I took this shot. Purely of personal sentiment, this picture shifted photography from simply a passion to a serious academic pursuit in my life as I began entering it in art shows.”
