. . . from the archives #33: Sunset—Central Coast, 1978


"Central coast", in this instance, being the small tourist town of Pismo Beach where we were vacationing. I was standing on the bluffs overlooking the ocean with a Mamiya RB-67 on the tripod. This camera took medium-format film, so the negatives—when they came out—were nicely enlargeable.

This photograph was featured by James Linden in his limited edition of Robinson Jeffers’ poem "Apology for Bad Dreams," now only to be found in rare book collections, including the Library of Congress.
