Inspired by japanese archery, Kyudo, where the arrow has to be shot without intention, these long exposures were shot using digital camera obscura and display the multiple variations of the ocean horizon line at dusk. Pictures of welsh sea front strollers looking towards the sea give a sense of community and bear witness to the last landscape we take the time to stare at without any expectation.
