Jutland Seascape

Summer 1993

Upon my leaving New York City for a year-long assignment in Warsaw in the autumn of 1992, a family member gave me an old point-and-shoot film camera with a fixed lens.

Although my interest in the visual arts had been keen from early childhood and I had taken figure drawing classes and studied art history in the U.S. and in Europe, this was my first foray into photography.

The photograph presented here was taken with that camera during a trip to visit friends in Denmark.  Despite the poor image quality, it remains among my favourites.  Jutland Dunes is another photograph taken during this visit.  You will find it already in the Portfolio.
