April 13 - June 1, 2003 Life by the sea is
explored in OMA's first photography exhibition.
"By the Sea offers the chance to witness the
beauty, mystery and magic of the sea through the
eyes of fine-art photographers, who -- like many of
us -- live, work, play, and often obtain their
inspirations from the water," states exhibition
curator, Michael
C. Gross. "Emerging from the foam and
developing into a society, the profound
relationship between man and the sea that was once
confined to food and commerce has become spiritual,
recreational, and commercial."
