Artist Carl Austin Hyatt has been photographing the Rye coast for more then 20 years. Usually he's well hidden down in the rocks above Wallis Sands but recently he's been working in Rye Harbor. Carl's work is often classified as modernist, and was recently highlighted by the Currier Museum's exhibition "A New Vision: Modernist Photography". As you can see in this photo of Carl's set up he's focussing on the poles, the curve of the rocky shore, and the reflection in the water to create a dynamic composition. I have no doubt that this early morning session will produce an extraordinary work of art.
