Mark on the beach, Ilocos, Philippines

Oil on canvas, 22″x28″

My brother has been developing his photography skills successfully for quite sometime, and we are each other’s best travel companions. We both understand that a figure in the foreground of a scene makes a strong composition, so we often help each other out by being in the other’s photographs while abroad. Taken around 2002, this image is a product of an early stage in the development of this mutual understanding. We were enjoying the beach that saw a major typhoon only days before, a typhoon whose traces were seen in the colours of the sky, sand, and sea.
