Part of a series of photographs entitled, Halfway From Home, A study of landscape,

environment, essence and my relationship with all the factors at hand when these

photographs are created. They are as much a meditation practice as they are a

photographical process. Standing late at night, wherever i walk to, and at the point

where I decide to head back I take a 10min exposure, which is handheld. The

reason for the handholding of the camera is for two reasons. The first is that when

not using a tripod and standing concentrating you become more aware of your

surroundings, and have more connection with the time period that passed between

the shutter clicking, which is a major element in relationship with the location. The

second is to create the visual effect, which hopefully can draw the viewer into the

photograph and make them want to see more.

I like it!

 

Andy - I love it by itself but with your story - it is even better. That night you captured the essence and emotion of the place. Photography to me is about slowing down, emersing yourself in a place. You have invented a great method to do this! thanks. Mark
