“Beach Stick” was taken on the Olympic Peninsula at La Push on Washington’s coast near the town of La Push. The subject, a young woman, was dragging a driftwood stick on the sands of a retreating surfline. In the month of February, when this image was taken, the angle of the mid-day sun was low in the sky. Of all my photographs, this is my personal favorite. A black and white version of this image hung in the Tacoma Art Museum in 1975.
