About Richard G Witham

My focus as a photographer and digital artist ranges from traditional photography to PhotoArt compilation and the less explored world of abstract design created with natural elements such as smoke, oil and water.

    love the tire tracks running in the middle and the contrast of sky and mountain. Beautiful moment and wish I were there!

  • I’m sure Here would love to have you and would look forward to being featured in your artwork. I agree with you about the tire tracks and see them as symbolic of the changes that have brought this little known fishing village to a blooming tourist resort. It’s not in the Acapulco/Puerto Vallarta league but is rumored to be a secret hideaway for the rich and famous seeking time away from fame. I’ve yet to run into any such folk, but I tend to stay distracted with the scenery.
    Thank you for your attention and great comments :-)

    Looks like a lot of activity around these beached boats which adds to their feeling of abandonment! I just noticed the smiling face in your profile pic…hee…so cute!

  • Hi Kathilee. That’s my friend and personal sidekick Bubble Head. He’s a great guy to have around, especially when you need a smile …

    great shot Richard ~more than an image well composed of beached boats, weathered and bleached white, with textured mountains and blue sky horizon…the analogy of being set aside, truly retired on these dunes with their backs to the sea and now earthly tied in your pov speaks strongly to me…well done, as always xx

  • Thank you Linda for your thoughtful comments. That’s exactly what I was going for with this composition, along with the balance of contrast with change – the remorse for what’s been left behind with the intrigue of what’s on the horizon.

  • Thank you Guendalyn, this is a beautiful beach where the desert reaches the sea.
    Grazie Guendalyn, questa è una bellissima spiaggia dove il deserto raggiunge il mare. (Google traslate – I don’t know if it’s correct)
