Overview
Appreciate the artistic beauty of driftwood shacks and other beachcombing wonders with this unique hardcover book of photography.
Beach life is amazing, and perhaps nothing captures the quirky nature of those drawn to a place where ocean meets sand like driftwood shacks. The unique and whimsical structures are constructed by anonymous builders. They’re shaped by whatever materials are lying nearby and are ephemeral—short-lived victims of wind, waves, and high tides.
Lloyd Kahn has spent many years hiking and camping along Northern California beaches. As an author and expert on building, he has always been fascinated by driftwood shacks. At first, he simply studied and admired them, but he soon began photographing them. Driftwood Shacks compiles his favorites from over the years. It features 60 structures, as well as the following:
- Sculptures, seaweed, and sunsets
- Birds, sea lions, sea otters, and whalebones
- Anglers, surfers, sea caves, and beach art
- A section on the Lost Coast
Driftwood Shacks is a coffe-table book for beachcombers and beach lovers everywhere, all of whom share a deep, emotional connection to the ocean and its surroundings.
