BEACH BONES
Tim Schultz
PHOTOGRAPHS

Tim Schultz thinks we are all drawn to nature in some way or another. He lives in Chicago and near Lake Michigan in New Buffalo, Mi and has walked the beach early in the morning and watched many sunsets. He started collecting stones, shells, drift wood and found objects that wash up on the shore. Drawn to the colors, shapes and the touch, he wanted to share the subtle details that the human eye at a glance doesn’t see. Presenting these pieces in a macro view, the detail and colors are so vibrant that the textures and shape are a story all their own. He calls them “Beach Bones” because they are the essence of the lakeshore, these stones and small pieces of driftwood define the beach in every season.

Schultz shoots “Beach Bones” with a 35m digital camera in a studio environment where he can control the lighting, shadows and texture. They are printed digitally on an archival watercolor paper in a limited edition of eight. Tim had a BFA degree from Rochester Institute of Technology.
