Chip Hooper's show "California's Pacific" at Robert Mann gallery consists of 18 or so black and white shots mostly aimed straight out into the ocean, capturing different times of day and different weather conditions. In this regard, it's highly similar to Richard Misrach's Golden Gate series, though not a typology in the same way. Some images also reminds me of Michael Kenna's recent "Japan" work, both in tone and subject matter - isolated rock elements, long exposures blurring the water's surface. The tonal qualities (at least from what I can tell on Mann's Web site) are also remeniscent of Clifford Ross's "Hurricanes" series shown at Sonnabend gallery two years ago.
