Dreamboats
Robert Walker


Why Ships?

BACK in the day; more than 1,000 hours bobbing about in the Catalina channel afforded me an intimate view of these daunting denizens of the shipping lanes.  Dreamboats I call them.  Afloat on a windless night one could sometimes hear the throbbing behemoths before they appeared; container ships, tankers, cruise ships, naval traffic, all would somehow avoid the happy idiot kayaker in the moonlight before them.

PRESENT day new perspective; ogling dreamboats from comfort of car / rediscover photography / out of sunrise they come - into sunset they go / supernatural zoom lens brings all to me / five to thirty miles distant / distortion is my ally / 1,000 shots all in a days play / dreamboat obsession still strong / thermos coffee still warm...life is good
