I was standing knee-deep in the ocean to capture this photograph, my view camera on its tripod also “knee-deep” in the surf. Waves splashed up against our legs as I spent about 20 minutes setting up, focusing, and making the shot. We were well soaked, but sometimes getting a good photo means sticking your neck out there.
Here, I wanted the feeling of being in the water, looking back at the line of buildings on the cliff’s edge. A red filter on the lens turned the sand a deep, dark tone—almost dystopian, echoing the atmosphere the world felt in 2020 and beyond.
Photographed using a Wisner 4×5 view camera.

Loose giclée prints are single sheet prints on either paper or canvas as specified, with no matting.
All giclée prints are archival & museum quality.
Giclée prints on paper are printed on an archival, heavyweight, fine art, cotton rag paper. (It is recommended that prints on paper should be matted & framed behind glass, or stored flat. Do not store rolled.)
Giclée prints on canvas are printed on professional, archival poly-cotton canvas that resists yellowing and offers enhanced color depth. (May be framed without glass.)
