Northey Island

I had the good fortune to visit a small island in an estuary recently, somewhere in Essex (for a dear friend's birthday). The memory that particularly stands out is waiting for the tide water to go down, in the pitch black, as if I am standing in the middle of the estuary, while geese chat to each other across the way - their strange noises all around me.

Small Interventions

We are having a very wet summer.

I am thinking about nature again, and about small things, and about Richard Long's work, and about attention to that which is at hand and the non-exceptional. I am also learning about light levels with my macro lens.

Oracle/Soap Dish*

*Perhaps each one of these should have a title that refers to something 'culturally produced', like, Oracle, or, Soap Dish. I'm thinking about the language of titles and what that makes of an image, or brings to the image. The relationship of nouns to phenomena. What comes first, the noun or the thing?
