Sunburned GSP #475 (San Francisco Bay) 2011

Chris McCaw's "Sunburned GSP #475 (San Francisco Bay)" (2011) is a captivating large-format photograph that exemplifies the artist's signature photographic technique. Employing a solarized print, McCaw captures the sun's reflection off the San Francisco Bay, creating a striking and abstract image. The sun's rays, overexposed, appear as a bright, elongated shape, while the water and sky merge into a single, ethereal expanse. The photograph's stark black and white palette emphasizes the play of light and shadow, drawing the viewer's attention to the subtle variations in tone and texture. McCaw's work is known for its exploration of the interplay between nature and technology, and this piece is a testament to his mastery of both.
