Waves break gently across a sandy shore in this black and white photograph, with a clouded sky stretching across the horizon and the vast ocean receding into soft focus. The composition balances the textured water and beach in the foreground with the calm expanse above, creating a meditative seascape rendered entirely in grayscale tones. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
