The Edge of the Sea
My name is Christian Grass and I am a holland-based german non-professional photographer who experiences art as the creation of something new and unique. To me it is the proces in succesion of photography when the aesthetic feelings are being translated into a creative, appealing piece of art - promising a high recognition effect.

entry description
The edge of the sea is a strange and beautiful place. All through the long history of Earth it has been an area of unrest where waves have broken heavily against the land, where the tides have pressed forward over the continents, receded, and then returned. For no two suc-cessive days is the shore line precisely the same. Not only do the tides advance and retreat in their eternal rhythms, but the level of the sea itself is never at rest. It rises or falls as the glaciers melt or grow, as the floor of the deep ocean basins shifts under its increasing load of sediments, or as the Earth’s crust along the continental margins warps up or down in adjustment to strain and tension. Today a little more land may belong to the sea, tomorrow a little less. Always the edge of the sea remains an elusive and indefinable boundary.— Rachel Carson

about the photographer
PERCEPTION IS THE ORGANIZATION, IDENTIFICATION, AND INTERPRETATION OF SENSORY INFORMATION IN ORDER TO REPRESENT AND UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT. CREATION IS THE ACT OF MAKING OR PRODUCING SOMETHING THAT DID NOT EXIST BEFORE. ART IS SOMETHING THAT IS CREATED WITH IMAGINATION AND SKILL AND THAT IS BEAUTIFUL OR THAT EXPRESSES IMPORTANT IDEAS OR FEELINGS. FINE ART, EVENTUALLY, IS A VISUAL ART CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN CREATED PRIMARILY FOR AESTHETIC AND INTELLECTUAL PURPOSES AND JUDGED FOR ITS BEAUTY AND MEANINGFULNESS, SPECIFICALLY, PAINTING, SCULPTURE, DRAWING, WATERCOLOUR, GRAPHICS, AND ARCHITECTURE.My name is Christian Grass and I am a holland-based german non-professional photographer who experiences art as the creation of something new and unique.
