Cutting Glass

Cutting Glass captures a fleeting moment of energy and balance along the Newport Cliff Walk, where a lone surfer glides across the face of a breaking wave. The surfer’s dark silhouette stands in striking contrast to the shimmering blue water, while sunlight catches the spray and transforms the crest into a sparkling curtain of glass. The graceful curve of the board and the movement of the surrounding water convey both speed and control, creating a sense of motion frozen in time. The photograph celebrates the intimate connection between surfer and sea, capturing the beauty, power, and exhilaration of a moment spent riding the edge of a wave.
