On quiet winter evenings, my wife and I often head to this beach in Carlsbad to watch the sun dip into the ocean and decompress from the day. It’s a simple ritual — one filled with stillness, light, and gratitude.

This photograph was taken on one of those evenings, just as the sun reached the horizon and the light turned soft and golden. The shoreline reflected it all: the glow in the water, the texture of the sand, and the peaceful rhythm of the waves.

I shot this moment on film and printed it by hand in my home studio. It’s a small reminder of the beauty that can come from slowing down and just watching the day end.

Printed on Hahnemühle Baryta Fine Art paper, this 8x10 giclée print is part of a limited edition of 100, each one signed and numbered.
