Piece description from the artist
Location: Waikiki Beach, Cape Disappointment, WA 2021
On a family trip to the coast, we drove up to this amazing scene by Waikiki Beach in Cape Disappointment. I call this piece "Luna Decepción". Deception or deceptive moon as I repositioned and edited the moon from a picture from earlier in the day. I felt it added balance to the empty sky. I rarely alter or add anything to my images, but I felt this one was calling for it.
The cape was named on July 6, 1788, by British fur trader John Meares. He was sailing south from Nootka Island, Canada, in search of trade. He mistook the mouth of the Columbia River to be a bay, which the ship could not enter due to a shallow shoal. Just missing the discovery of the river mentioned by Francisco Antonio Mourelle, he named them Cape Disappointment and Deception Bay.2 George Vancouver credits John Meares in his account when he saw Cape Disappointment on April 27, 1792.
San Herman’s artistic journey began in the quiet moments of childhood when the world first revealed itself as a canvas of infinite possibility. Over the years, art has been his constant companion—a profound source of inspiration, growth, and self-discovery.
In 2015, Sanzei made the deliberate choice to immerse himself in the world of photography, a decision that would profoundly shape his creative path. For him, photography is more than a medium; it is a sanctuary, a meditative practice that offers solace and a deeper understanding of the world. It is not merely about making images but about exploring the essence of existence—seizing those fleeting, often unnoticed moments that hold the quiet magic of life.
His camera has become an extension of his being, a tool for personal growth, and a means to express his unique perspective. Each click of the shutter is a step further into the intricate tapestry of his existence, a testament to his ongoing journey of artistic and personal enlightenment.
