Piece description from the artist
I discovered these "stairs to nowhere" on the edge of the water of the San Francisco Bay in Richmond, CA on a stormy winter day and wanted to capture their mystery because of the fact that they don't seem to lead anywhere. That's Brooks Island in the background, and looking further, you can see structural elements of the Bay Bridge, Sutro Tower on the hills overlooking the city and even one of the Golden Gate Bridge towers way in the background to the far right.
Noted San Francisco Bay Area commercial and editorial photographer Scott Lockwood's work has been seen from time to time in publications such as California Magazine, Los Angeles Times Magazine, Orange Coast Magazine and more. His award-winning fine art work has been featured in Black & White Magazine, Art Direction, Photographer's Forum, as a Nikon Photo Contest winner and has been also been included in a one-man show at the Metro Gallery in Los Angeles as well as group shows at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the renown Duncan Miller on-line Your-Daily-Photo Gallery, New York University Gallery and as a Grand Prize Winner in Photo-Illustration at MacWorld San Francisco.
Inspirations include the work of commercial-editorial-fine art masters Irving Penn, Albert Watson and Robert Mapplethorpe, as well as the b&w work of early modernist photographers such as Ansel Adams, Brett Weston, and André Kertész. The influence of painter Wassily Kandinsky's highly formed graphic style is also evident.
