Artist Entry #1

1-19-09

Hiroshi Sugimoto




Hiroshi was born in 1948 in Tokyo Japan, and now lives and works in New York. He is known world wide for his seascapes. I shot the horizons of several different seas from around the world. When viewing these images together, they seem so similar, as if they could be from the same vantage point, however each were shot across the world from eachother. I love the way he was able to take such different areas and make them relate to one another.
