About this piece

Mike Gedj frames sunlit coastal grasses against a broad expanse of turquoise water. Fine stems and warm-toned seed heads stand out against softly blurred rocks, balancing the dense foreground foliage with open color above.

The story

I turned my attention from the water to the small grasses growing among the rocks. Their seed heads caught the light in shades of copper and straw, each held on a stem so fine it nearly disappeared against the blue. I framed them with room for the water above, letting the rocks soften behind them. For this moment, the shoreline belonged to its smallest details rather than its widest view.
