At water’s edge, Mission Beach, San Diego, California, 2010

The tracks of lifeguard trucks patrolling Mission Beach offer leading lines that seem to energize this lone runner sprinting along the water’s edge. Made with a 24mm wideangle lens, the image expands the flow of the tracks, the sand, and the overhead clouds, minimizing the scale of the beach houses in the background.

Good point and beautifully articulated, Iris. He is actually sprinting between the work of man (tire tracks) and the work of nature, the edge of the surf.

I'm drawn to the distinction between the perfect tracks of the truck and the beauty of nature's irregular shoreline. The runner is navigating the space between.
