Title: Grains of Sand
Description: "This book brings together 57 of the best black-and-white photographs of Marion Patterson, who describes her work as "photographs of the intimate landscape, simple and contemplative like a zen garden." The images focus on the natural surroundings of the central California coast and Sierra: rocks, waterfalls, creeks, trees, seashells, sand, driftwood, and kelp washed ashore by the tides, as well as images from the Southwest and the deserts of California.

The book provides quiet meditation on the beauty of our natural environment in a manner that reflects the author's lifelong ties to the West Coast school of photography, deeply influenced by Edward Weston and Ansel Adams."--BOOK JACKET.
