2015 | Marin County, California
At this spot, throughout the year, most days you can hear the surf shore-breaking five miles away on a steep and straight ten-mile beach, spending energy gathered on a fetch of two thousand miles counted from the Aleutians. Here, on the other side of the ridge and above the inlet, it is quiet otherwise.
For me, everything slows down, warms up, and I can get to work. My first thought, after spontaneously making this picture, was “This is the best use of an old sailboat.” But now, thirty-two years later, I am thinking, “I wonder what happened to the rest of that boat?”
