The cover of Geist 65 was nominated for the 2008 Western Magazine Award for Art Direction.

Tilo Driessen was on his way to work when he saw the hammock strung up in a sculpture on the beach. "Luckily, the dude was sleeping," he said, "so I had time to set up in these difficult light conditions.

His images can be seen at flickr.com/photos/morelcreamsauce/.
