“For six years, I was a resident of Bela Vista Villa on Cheung Chau Island. Every day, I looked out my window to see what the tide would bring. The view was always the same, but the scene was always different…”

This photo book represents over 6 years of life by the sea, and the never ending wave of scenes that played out on the beach below Preston Hartwick’s window. Love and innocence, work and play, purity and destruction, humankind and nature; everything leaves its mark before being washed away by the changes of the tide.
