Introducing Water's Edge

INTRODUCING WATER’S EDGE, A PHOTOGRAPHIC ART BOOK BY STUDIO ALBERTINE

Since moving to the PNW in fall 2018, I’ve been capturing, processing and curating thousands upon thousands of images across Washington and Oregon, chasing views of seas, sounds, falls, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs - and especially the thrilling sense of personal insignificance that they tend to inspire. These curated images have now become Water’s Edge.

While a proper site page is under construction and yet to be published, I wanted to use the blog for an initial party post about finally having brought this 5+ year project to a point where it feels to me finally complete.

Water’s Edge comes in landscape hardcover format, storm gray linen-bound, with a glossy dust jacket. It features 88 full-color pages and is ready to grace any coffee table or home library shelf. While it is not yet available for purchase online, after this weekend’s book deliveries, in the days to come it will be available in select indie bookstores local to Seattle, Washington.

Storm King

Storm King towers over Lake Crescent Lodge from the southeast, and for that reason it’s tough to get a sense of its scale when hanging out near the hotel and its minor trails. Several years ago, my partner and I took a boat tour and saw the mountain from the water for the first time — and holy shit, was it something else. We set a goal to hike it someday once we had it in us fitness-wise, and just the other week we checked it off our list. 2000-some feet of gain across a mile and a half of treacherous switchbacks and rock slopes and zero regrets.
