Digging Razor Clams
This is the way to dig razor clams, on one knee, using a clam shovel. It's much easier on your back than a clam gun but you have to act fast with the shovel. I also recommend hip boots or just plain old shoes. Mid-calf boots fill up with water when a sneaker wave comes in.
The razor clams grow to about 5 or 6 inches on the Washington coast. The farther north, the colder the water, the bigger the clams.
Shot in 1965, ektachrome transparency film, with a Yashica twin lens reflex. Note the tide table peeking out of the shirt pocket. That's the holy bible of the Pacific north coast and available at all local businesses.
