My recent posts have illustrated some of the things that make phography on a sailboat tough. You may wonder why I would bother…risking camera equipment and seasickness.

I really love time on and near the water. And I’ve taken some photos that make me happy, but part of me questions “how much skill is really involved to take a wonderful photo of something already so lovely?”. Then I remember songs that inspire and uplift, and how they can be slaughtered by someone with little or no skill. Go to your local karaoke night, and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

I’m not the only one who enjoys capturing beautiful moments in the water. Onne van der Wal is a great example. He has a gallery in Newport, RI that I’ve visited twice. His gallery has given me some great ideas about what you can do when it comes to “thinking big” and displaying your photography. While he has framed and poster-sized prints, he also has his work beautifully rendered on canvas.

My experience with photo on canvas is limited, but in the past I haven’t been too impressed. The last time I stopped by the gallery, the woman working there was kind enough to give me a card with the information of the Rhode Island vendor that does van der Wal’s work. And somewhere along the way, I lost that information. I’m going send them a request through the website to see if I can get the info again. But in the meantime, just know that you can display your photography beautifully on canvas.
