I knew that the translucent acrylic “surfboard” arches comprising the Surfhedge gateway to the town’s pier always project vividly colored reflections upon the surrounding sidewalk around 5:30 pm each day the sun may be shining. One afternoon, I used a 24mm wideangle focal length to link my own shadow with these striking reflections, creating a self-portrait that symbolizes my personal impression of a town so closely identified with the sport of surfing.
