From the cliff overlooking Devils Punch Bowl and the accompanying shoreline, you can see patterns in the sand and water from a distance, along with beach goers. This minimalist composition explores negative space—but is the negative space the incoming water, or the water farther up the shore? I like the near surfer crossing the line from one space to the next, while the farther surfer creates his own line in the water. Timing is key for people on the move: The position of their legs should imply their forward motion, and I was able to catch strong V-shapes in both surfers to suggest that movement.
