A weathered surfboard stands upright in shallow ocean water, its nose angled toward a cloudy sky while small birds fly past in the distance. Shot in black and white, the composition captures the solitary geometry of the board against the textured surface of water and sand, with a contemplative, almost melancholic quality that emphasizes patience and stillness. 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.
