The beach is, hands down, one of my favorite places to make pictures. Probably because it’s such a rarity to get to do so. Last year I spent most of time enjoying the soft light and pastel colors of the early morning hour. But this year I wanted to try to look for something a little different, to see the beach in a new way.
As I walked the shore at sunrise I was struck by the work of the tide; painting its canvas each night, revealing new compositions and patterns each morning. The sun’s first rays danced across the landscape illuminating even the most subtle textures. And I watched as people would walk across, never seeming to notice what was before them.
