Tidal Review wanted the beach in the wrong month. We took the A train out at seven, shot until the tide turned and were back in the city by noon. The shirt and trousers are the only wardrobe; the wind and the water did the styling.

The spread the magazine opened with is the wide frame on the tide line.

S05 salt 02 — The wind took the shirt and the photographer let it.

S05 salt 03 — Salt on the skin, which was the point.

S05 salt 04 — The water was colder than it looks.

S05 salt 05 — Walking the tide line until the hems were soaked.

S05 salt 07 — Facing the sea because the sea was the only warm thing to look at.

S05 salt 08 — The beach with me at the far end of it.

S05 salt 09 — The spread the magazine opened with.

S05 salt 10 — A folded shirt and the shoes I never put back on.
