From the South Jetty, Clatsop County, Oregon C 1990

Robert Adams' 1990 black and white photograph, "From the South Jetty, Clatsop County, Oregon C," captures the vastness and mystery of the Pacific Ocean. The image, taken from a jetty, features a hazy, foggy horizon obscuring the distant coastline, while the foreground is dominated by a choppy sea with a faint glimmer of sunlight on the water. Adams, known for his evocative landscapes, uses the fog to create a sense of isolation and awe, emphasizing the power and unpredictability of nature. This image, with its minimalist aesthetic and muted tones, exemplifies Adams' signature style of landscape photography.
