Thoughtfactory: abstractions

developing the tradition of photographic abstraction

dark granite

This picture was made whilst I was on a recent  poodlewalk with Maleko along the coast rocks near Kings Beach Rd. It was towards the end of the walk and I was in a hurry. 

 It was in the late afternoon. The weather was changing. A sou-westerly wind had up, the clouds became darker, the light lessened,  and I could sense rain. So we quickly made our way back to the Subaru Forester, that was parked at the bottom of Kings Beach Rd.  

bark abstraction

This abstraction of the bark of a eucalyptus tree was made whilst we were on the way to the beach at Encounter Bay in Victor Harbor:  

The bark is in the reserve opposite Encounter Studio. We have planted most of the trees in the reserve over the years.  

white abstract

Made on an early morning  poodlewalk with Kayla:

It was low tide so access to these distorted granite rock forms  was possible.   

granite abstract #4

A scoping study made on a poodlewalk with Maleko:

The next step is film camera--Linhof Technika 70--- a tripod and Kodak Portra film. 

sea abstract #2

This picture is from another go in this experimental series:

It is from a different location along the coast than the location for the earlier sea abstract.  It is  much safer from the  force of the frequent rogue waves.
