Ship At Sunset

$125 – $300

Sunset Anchorage – Astoria, Oregon
Where the sea holds stillness, and imagination drifts.

Captured at sunset from a quiet dock in Astoria—a town steeped in maritime history—this image offers a moment of suspended time. A distant cargo ship rests on the horizon, its bow touched by the last light of day. Overhead, a line of round, ornamental lights stretches across the frame, softly echoing the quiet geometry of human presence.

There’s something about watching ships from shore—how they slip between worlds, carrying stories we’ll never know. From where I stood, the ship felt anchored not just in water, but in a timeless moment—undisturbed, silhouetted against an expanse of sea and sky, with little trace of the built world around it.

This archival pigment print captures that feeling: solitude, wonder, and the beauty of the in-between—where land meets sea, and day yields to night.

Description

Shot in March just just before 8pm, a sign not only of Spring but of an expanding day (light) from the early darkness of winter.
