Lonely Boats by Jason Matias

Lonely Boats by Jason Matias

The Lonely Boat Series is a collection of images that kinda-sorta developed on its own. Over time one person on my Facebook noted to me, “You must love boats, you take a lot of pictures of them.” That got me thinking and I reviewed my finished pieces and found that do, in fact, like taking photos of boats. Particularly, I am drawn to isolated boats in dramatic landscapes. The collection of boats attached are from New York, Hawaii, and the Philippines. There’s a little bit of story behind each one…
