Abstract

The sky was deeply coloured, but by setting my exposure for the sunlight reflection on the sea, the sensor struggled with the dynamic range, leading to this black sky. In fact, it’s possible to bring up the exposure a couple of stops in software to get a deep midnight blue, but I prefer this stark contrast.

Shadows

These images shot from a kitchen window in New York in July just turned up on a camera I haven’t used since then.

Morning Light

I love the shadows on the wall with bright sunlight slanting through the Venetian blinds.

Idiom II (detail)

After the Marina Abramović at Saatchi Yates, we walked across the street and up some stairs into Smithson Plaza where, instead of massive land art (a different Smithson, I guess), we saw several sculptures by Charles Hadcock.

Sprinkler Reflections

Reflections in the pooled water of a pebbled sprinkler enclosure in Riverside Park from 2006.

Sculpture

Yet another geometric abstraction from the 2006 archive.

Peeling

Work and Pensions

Just found these 2 images lingering on the chip in an older camera. The interaction of sunlight with this building at the end of our street in Brighton, housing the Department of Work and Pensions and a Job Centre (most of whose workers seemed to spend a lot of their time taking smoke breaks directly under our windows), often stuck me as offering photographic possibilities, though I never captured them.
