May 8, 2015. Devil’s Slide, near Pacifica, California. Another hidden treasure from the archives, this one from a memorable shoot on Devil’s Slide.
When I was in high school, one of my favorite things to do was sketching with chalk on black paper. When I look out to sea, my favorite thing to see is a streak of light on the horizon.
Reminds me of chalk. Reminds me that even then I was seeking to strip away everything but the essence.
Be well. Do good. Create.

Reminds me of a night I stood on a beach in which I experienced the Pacific’s absolute absence of light with the San Diego’s night lights to my back. The darkness was terrifying … reflections of light upon the waves as within your image would comfort as if they were a soft night light.

I am very familiar with, and very much admire Leonard Cohen. But I haven’t heard as many of his songs as you have, obviously. But here’s a chance for me to expand.

Of all the pictures you’ve shown here, this one probably has the most dark and the least light. As you see it, the fact that it’s chalk light undoubtedly compensates for its small quantity.

Yes indeed, the chalk shines brightly. Almost as bright as the sun.

Thanks very much. Took a bit of tweaking to get that balance right. Worth the effort, I think.
