Pushing the Wave

Pushing the Wave is an ongoing series celebrating creativity, reflection, and the art of seeing the world anew. Each volume gathers a collection of essays, stories, and photo essays by L.A. Davenport, exploring life, art, and the everyday moments that shape our sense of connection and meaning.

The first volume, Pushing the Wave 2017–2022, captures five years of thought-provoking writing, from meditations on technology and solitude to essays on travel, creativity, and human nature.

Its successor, Pushing the Wave 2023, continues the journey with a renewed sense of intimacy and visual richness, combining reflective essays, drawings, and evocative photography in a celebration of observation and imagination.

The latest volume, Pushing the Wave 2024, deepens this exploration, bringing together essays, cultural commentary, and travel writing from across the year, accompanied by drawings and photographic essays that reflect a widening engagement with place, memory, and the complexities of modern life.

Together, these books offer a deeply personal yet universal chronicle of modern life—an invitation to pause, think, and rediscover the beauty in experience.
