There is a particular shade of blue that belongs exclusively to the Pacific Ocean on a clear California day, and this slide captured it in March of 1971 like it was the easiest thing in the world. Deep cobalt water, white surf breaking hard against ancient rock, a sweep of green headland holding its ground at the edge of the continent - this is the Carmel coast doing exactly what it has always done, indifferent and magnificent. That cobalt blue is not enhanced or filtered; it is exactly what the photographer saw standing on that bluff fifty-plus years before it found its way to your wall.

As with all Retrospect Studio Art prints, this image originates from a real vintage slide — and real vintage slides have lived a life. You may notice the occasional worn edge, subtle nick, or faint mark in the film. We think that's exactly as it should be. These small imperfections are the fingerprints of time, proof that this image existed long before it found its way to your wall. They are not flaws — they are part of the story.
