Apologies to all my readers for being AWOL and Happy New Year from Hati and Skoll Gallery. I have not been posting, but I have definitely be photographing and have quite a backlog built-up. It has been a strange, sad, and terrible year and I want to wish all my readers health and happiness for 2021.  

I’d like to start the New Year off with these images that I took on a cold, bright, and blowing Boxing Day at the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge at Plum Island Massachusetts. The surf was active and growling. Plum Island in winter is such a magical time and place!

Boxing Day represents a timestamp in the journey of our lives and there is nothing more symbolic of the cycles of time, geologic time eclipsing human, than the unrelenting motion of waves. Here with the camera you watch them come in and anticipate just when they will break churn up the sea and blast forth sprays of foam.

Oh, and on a personal note, the vitriolic politics on Facebook got to me some time in October. So I no longer post images or anything there. They can still be found here, obviously, and on Instagram, my last social media account. I don’t miss it!
