"MARINAS_Short Tales by the Harbor"

Sometimes, the very essence of a place lies in its details. Those details are the ones that tend to generate certain situations in which we see ourselves reflected upon. By doing that, silent connections with a place are built like an internal impulse impossible to resist. Some people may call that falling in love and that is why I consider the work you are seeing here today, my own visual love letter to a very particular place; the harbor and marina of a small city, named Port Washington, in the state of Wisconsin over the magnificent waters of Lake Michigan. It is there I spend a considerable amount of time walking like a vagabond without destination, seeing and feeling the very essence of it. Either by the memories it brings back or the escape door it offers by loosing yourself in your imagination, the place allows me to see where I have been, where I am and maybe where I will be. Today, as I present the viewer with this letter, written with the only tool I know how to use in order to register what is seen by my eyes, it is my desire to share those moments and by doing so, share a little of that essence.
