early morning summer light.
Kings Beach, Victor Harbor, Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia.
There is not much flotsam washed up in the beaches around Encounter Bay in Victor Harbor. This was further west:
It was at the foot of the cliffs near Kings Beach.
Another picture from the 5x7 Cambo monorail shoot near Kings Beach, Victor Harbor.
It is a large format version of the 6x6 one in this earlier post. I was thinking more in terms of abstractions and modernism than just rock studies and snap shots. I was starting to reconnect with the art history past. A retro Australian modernism as it were, which referred back to the rock studies made by John Cato in the 1970s.
Cato's abstractions developed the vocabulary of his own inner landscape and can be seen as expressions of his subconscious. I have no interest in this kind of transcendent photography that links back to Kandinsky.
I carried the 5x7 monorail around to Kings Head early one morning before I came to realise that I was really making a rod for my own back using a monorail.
After this exercise I started using a 5x4 Linhof field camera when I had to walk a far away from the car as I I could carry the Linhof in a back pack.
I've always been intrigued by abstract patterns on the coastal rock face.
I have no idea how these marks were formed or made. I just snapped them.
