The abstraction below was made whilst I was on a poodlewalk with Maya, our young standard poodle, in the local bushland in Waitpinga on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia early in the morning.
From memory it had been raining overnight. It was in the mid-winter of 2023. Maya would have been about 6 months old then, and it would have been a training walk. She was learning to stay with me whilst we walked through the bushland.
I really ought to have gone back and photographed the above abstraction of a pink gum trunk with a large format camera, but during most of 2023 I'd taken time out from photography whilst Maya was a puppy. It's been 6 months or more since I've connected with this abstraction series or project.
