A lone surfer in a wetsuit stands at the water's edge holding a surfboard overhead, rendered in black and white with a flat, minimalist composition. The photograph captures a serene California coastline with gentle waves and distant figures in the water, emphasizing solitude and quiet contemplation against a pale, overcast sky. 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.
