Seascapes, sunsets and such have been done to death
in calendar art and postcards; we dismiss them as banal.
Giovan makes us apprehend these wonders anew by
capturing colors and contours so closely, so accurately
and subtly, without exaggeration, that we feel we are
there with her on her beach at Sagaponack. Giovan's
genius, in these beautiful photographs, is, seemingly,
to add little of herself. As a result, her images are not
only about the fragile ecological balance of this threemile sliver of nature, but all about her prescient, indeed,
omniscient eye. H
