About
Some pictures take patience. This one took nerve.
Most photographers don't go down this side of the trail. There's no sign for it. The path is narrow and not well maintained. But I was already wet and already tired, and that's exactly the kind of mental state where you start saying yes to detours that turn out to matter.
The view opened up between two Sitka spruce. To get the composition I wanted, I had to lean out over the edge — a 250-foot drop straight down to the water — with the tripod spikes set into the ground behind me and one hand braced against a tree. The light was failing. The rain was about to win.
I shot eleven exposures in four minutes. The print is the second frame I made. The first was framed too low. The eleventh was a different photograph entirely — the light had moved that fast.
I haven't shown this image much. Truthfully, I think I was saving it for myself. It's time to let other people stand at this edge too. Made the same morning as Mystic Waters, a few hours later, on the hike out.

About the Artist
Jeremy Burke is a multiple award-winning photojournalist and Oregon Coast fine art photographer. After 20 years as a newspaper publisher and 15 years behind the lens, he shoots between 5,000 and 20,000 images every month — and sometimes the best ones come from the days when the weather had other plans.
Built to Order
Every print in this collection is individually produced after your order is placed — never mass-manufactured or pulled from inventory. That means your piece is made specifically for you, using the materials and format you select.
Production takes 2–3 weeks from the time of order. Each print is personally inspected by Jeremy before it ships.
