About the Book -- Ebb Tide, A Closer Look

My first intimate photographs of an Oregon beach at low tide were taken in 2004 with a Cannon PowerShot S50.  I lovingly referred to the images I perceived beneath my feet as "sand art" - inspired by Mother Ocean herself.  Later I upgraded to a Nikon D40 and am currently experimenting with various lenses and filters.

After several years of discovering and recording the magic that is waves and sand in partnership, I felt compelled to put these unique photos together into a collection I now hope to share with you.

Included in this book are 56 pages of vivid images depicting textures, patterns, colors, prints and forms often overlooked on a visit to the shore.  Each chapter focuses on one aspect of the natural palette of a sandy beach: rippling waters flowing out to sea, wave patterns in the sand, surprising visual designs, colorful stream art, pebble creations, human and animal footprints, rock cairns, rock walls and sunsets.

Enjoy!
