Photographer of the Day: Douglas Ethridge

I’ve featured Douglas Ethridge before, unaware of the sheer variety present in his portfolio. Seattle-based Ethridge knows his way around depth of field to a masterful degree. But he is equally triumphant in his rendering of the ocean as the whirling, swirling beast that it is.

Many thanks to Lenscratch for the inspiration.
