Her Wave - 10.02.08 No. 4 Kathy (Gidget)

Her Wave reflects Joni Sternbach's travel to worldwide surf spots over the past fourteen years. Facing weather and tide, Sternbach and her subject intersect at the periphery of two powerful elements: land and sea. Sternbach allows the format's rawness and immediacy to shape each composition's distinctive appearance, echoing important traditions of nineteenth-century anthropological photography.
