DP, Hi, thanks.
The picture was made in April of 2003, sometime in late afternoon. To be honest, in the flesh the boat's not quite as dramatic as it appears-I got down low with a wide-angle lens (90mm on 4x5) and used a bit of back tilt to get it get it to loom up like that. That's how it felt, so that's how I made it-ha! Anyway, I've probably shot it a hundred times, as have a lot of people-that boat's slow disintegration is quite well documented! And it actually has a pretty interesting history, which I won't go into here, but if you'd like, you can check it out on my website-it's in the Point Reyes 'book,' near the beginning of Chapter Two: Inverness Ridge.
Cheers!
