Ossabaw Island is the third largest of Georgia’s Sea Islands and lies along the Atlantic Ocean about 20 miles south of Savannah. The island encompasses over 16,000 acres of tidal marshes and 9,000 acres of high ground. Ponds, salt water creeks, one river and many sloughs, inlets, and beaches make the high ground of Ossabaw a complex of small islands. Broad flat ridges and shallow depressions comprise the western part of Ossabaw (Pleistocene soils), while steep, parallel dune ridges mark the eastern part (Holocene soils).
After passing through many private owners, Ossabaw was acquired by the State of Georgia in 1978 through a gift/sale agreement from the Torrey family and the efforts of Eleanor Torrey West.
The images in this album were made with a Sony A700 DSLR, the Lensbaby Composer, and various Lensbaby optics including double glass, single glass, plastic and zone plate/pinhole.
In November 2009, I returned to Ossabaw and made images with a Pinhole Blender Mini 120, a ZeroImage Multiformat pinhole camera, and my cellphone. See the two new sub-albums.
