One of the best images. Iceland? Excellent composition, texture, color and process.

Lev, this is so nostalgic that it gives the sweet pain that we call Proustian.
How one can smell the ocean, hear along the beautiful music the shrills of the birds and the hiss of the waves lays in the magic of the photographer.
Congratulations for a splendid essay.

very moving. the overcast, the sea, the wall, the sand, the pier, undulating like the cello, and then the discrete piano notes of people, of birds. a wonderful human seeing. a poem of the place.

Beautiful shades of gray! That usually doesn't come to mind when I think of San Diego. I like the progression of images along with the music you chose. A very reflective collection.

Beautiful music.

Funny, as I was watching this, I thought of the sand as a canvas that was constantly creating new paintings on itself. That's the sort of effect that only an essay can create.

It felt like spinning in a never-ending circle, and the scenery just rolls on and on, showing all life through concrete-coloured glasses.

Comment by ubique:
That Issuu magazine template is a little unfriendly to very slow connections (which is what I have), but against that it provides a very real magazine feel.

These are beautiful photographs a little reminiscent of Magnum photographer Harry Gruyert's 'Rivages' stuff. Your Pacific Beach photographs are quiet, introspective and meticulously objective. That makes them a little too passive for my own roughhouse tastes, but I think that that may be a plus rather than a minus when it comes to wide appreciation of your work in this essay.

I deeply admire this kind of quiet, almost academic level of detached observation, but I simply can't do it myself. The individual photographs are superbly seen and executed, though I found I related to them more successfully as individual photographs than as a collection. That might be because my glacial connection couldn't cope with Issuu, or maybe I'm just slow myself. My favourite image was actually this cover shot. Thank you.

Congrats on the blue, Lev.
I have to agree with this

Certainly the more I look the more I appreciate it.
