Scotty Carter
Photographer Scotty Carter has chosen to capture the waves that often go unnoticed...due to their microscopic size.
Using a scientific macro lens Scotty spends early morning hours on the beach attempting to capture waves that lap the shore at
only 2 to 4 cm in height.
"I was so drawn to these miniature waves that I spent a good part of 5 years trying to capture them on film. They are mesmerizing
and make really strange sounds like as if you were yelling in a tunnel. Mere centimeters high moving at
super high speeds and
reflecting light in a distinctive and mysterious way. Water seems to have viscosity to it and the smaller you go on the scale
the more thicker and soupy it breaks. These micro-waves have really opened my eyes to the real magic of surfing and the
possibilities of what may exist out there beyond earth, and to be in absolute awe with every moment we have in this life."
The magic of these photographs proves why riding waves is a passion which changes a person forever and moves you through life.
Scott Carter's photography has been published on the covers of DÉCOR, SURFERS JOURNAL, SURFING MAGAZINE, and RIPTIDE, "Art is in
the eye of the beholder", Carter says, "sometimes you can make a masterpiece without knowing it, and many times you can create
something out of nothing, and that's the magic."
