Splash Walls

Piece description from the artist

Location: Anglin's Fishing Pier – Fort Lauderdale, Florida – 2017

As I arrived at the scene, I couldn't help but notice a congregation of roughly 30 photographers capturing the unfolding sunrise from the north side of Anglin's Fishing Pier. So, I deliberately walked towards the south side, aiming to frame the magnificent sunrise with the imposing pier in the foreground. There, I found myself in the company of just two other photographers.

Camera in hand, I ventured as close to the waves as I dared, gracefully avoiding their watery embrace. My commitment to the shot led me to lay flat on the ground, seeking to immerse myself fully in the scene. It was the relentless crashing of the waves that I wished to emphasize, a powerful and chaotic force that held the key to creating this dramatic image.

In post-processing, I enhanced the vibrance and saturation ever so slightly, a subtle homage to the warm and windy morning's vibrancy. To accentuate the contrast within the frame, I chose to darken the silhouetted pier and its occupants, as they became mere shadows against the burgeoning light of dawn. I attempt to convey the intricate interplay between serenity and chaos, each coexisting in harmonious disarray.

About San Herman Lopez

Snoqualmie, WA

Hi, I am San Herman López, but you can call me San or Sanzei. Currently, I reside in the breathtaking state of Washington. My journey through art began when I was just a child, and it has been a constant source of inspiration and growth for me.

Around 2015, I made a decision that would shape my creative path profoundly: I decided to dive headfirst into honing my photography skills. Little did I know just how transformative this decision would be.

Photography has become my sanctuary, a meditative practice that allows me to find solace and meaning in the world around me. It is not just about capturing images; it's about delving into the essence of existence, about seizing those fleeting moments that often go unnoticed.

My camera has become an extension of myself, a tool for personal growth, and a means to express how I see the world. Every click of the shutter is a step further into the intricate tapestry of existence, a testament to my unceasing journey of artistic and personal enlightenment.

I invite you to join me on this visual voyage as I continue to explore our world. I hope to inspire others to embark on a journey of discovery, to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to appreciate the timeless dance within the canvas of reality.
