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.

Discovery Park

At the base of a substantial hill in west central Seattle and right on Puget Sound across from Bainbridge Island is a beach park that feels surprisingly remote for a place just 6 miles from downtown. The other week, we took a masked, distanced park walk with old friends and their beautiful, well-trained border collie.

Seattle Solitude

It’s been a weird few weeks of profound solitude in Seattle. But the sounds of the city are slowly flooding back: the rush of traffic, the occasional siren, screeching tires, people chattering on sidewalks.

We’ve been passing some of our time taking slow, aimless walks in neighborhoods, encountering sculptures, rose gardens, and surprise views of the Space Needle. More commonly, though, we’ve been marathoning more HBO & Netflix than anyone has any business doing. (Watch Big Little Lies and Dead To Me. Right away.)

Today a number of Washington counties were approved to move to phase 2 of reopening operations. Recovery is underway but I’m of the view that we are so much better off safe than sorry. Can’t go wrong with an abundance of caution.
