Start here
A short route through what this site actually is.
This site holds forty years of one person’s attention to a single stretch of Irish coast — writing, photographs, conservation work, and a small number of workshops, all coming out of the same fieldwork. There’s a lot here. If you don’t know where to start, start here.
1. The place
Wexford
Start with what the coast actually is: four kinds of ground, and the two variables — tide and weather — that govern everything that happens on them.
2. The writing
The coast
A curated selection — the pieces made from this ground that I’d stand over, out of a much larger archive.
3. The photographs
Seeing
This coast at close range, made over a long while. A small, curated set — not an archive dump.
4. On the water
Workshops
If you’d rather learn it on the water than read it. One day, two anglers, on the tides that are worth taking.
5. Who’s behind it
About Jim Hendrick
Forty years on this coast, twelve of them guiding, and what this site holds itself to.
There’s also a full Archive going back to 2003, and a record of the conservation work this site argues for.
