The following image series were captured at the La Jolla Tide Pools, La Jolla, California during early winter of 2020 (5780). These image impressions take the viewer on a journey through the colors, textures, shapes of the tide pools of La Jolla. The author hopes that viewers “see” the impact of the ocean tides combined with the unique sandy rock base, to form wondrous natural sculptures. The blending of subdued lighting of the green sea moss with the pools of colored stones provides the viewer a unique experience of nature accessible to all. Viewing nature on a macro, or “close up” scale enables us to fully engage in what is already here, often what we often do not realize as wondrous

The author focuses on imaging impressions of nature as they exist in our daily lives, yet when combined with methods of “out of context” macro compositions, have the capability to elevate the natural combinations of color, texture, shapes and lighting. It is hoped that flowing these combinations together in a structured yet often “chaotic” ensemble, enables the viewer to re-experience nature's miracles of our world. Michoel Muchnik, world renowned artist, writes; “B. Gorin's photographs and their accompanying meditative-style insights, help us develop a more intimate look at nature's handiwork. The best part about it, is the inspiration we gain to look around us on our own, to become ever more aware of the lessons we can learn from even the minutest details.”
