38 Wild Roots
Falling waters and a riot of flowers anchored by a jungle
of shrubs and trees landscape a lush urban oasis for
wild beasts, birds, bees and the Roots of Landfall. How
I shot the Paulsons at 6 p.m. on May 5 near Crystal Pier. They were a huge tribe—with surfboards—gathered by the lifeguard
stand. I wanted a real lifestyle feel with light tonality and these guys were a tight family and had great chemistry. I gave them a
bit of direction and had them walk along the waterline. I asked them to jump in the water to get wet, which was still chilly and
the northeast wind from a small cold front did not help warm them, but they gladly did it. Thanks guys! —Joshua Curry
