Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-13 00:00:00 Comer Allen Extremely middling book of sea photos. james hamilton-paterson's intro has a couple good lines though: Sea-dwellers everywhere have always lived by a mixture of practicality and superstition. From the moment in 1735 when the first bathing machines appeared at Scarborough and Yorkshire and ladies began bathing, the foreshore steadily became eroticized. In the following century the counterpart of the affordable microscope was the cheap telescope, which became a standard piece of masculine beach equipment. masculine beach equipment the foreshore languorous bathing two poems I extracted from trudy wilder stack's short essay: large embracing headings our wet orb As far as the photos, I really like John Mcwilliams "gray backs" - one of only a couple without a straight horizon line. you feel the current. Liz Descehenes' could have been awesome if she smudged the edges between the grouped 48 images. In general, the individual photos in the book don't do much on their own; even the Sugimoto is powerless, but when I've seen groups of these in person there is a real effect of all that black and the variations that ripple out. James Welling captures a really nice piece of a wave. And thats whats so great about it - it feels like a solid piece, like it would make a great object in the living room. tsunami art would be the only way to get an ocean in your living room. and then you could suffer a real titanic.
