staring into the sun series #2: bleach house

A close-up photograph of a derelict building in Nachi Katsuura, Kii Peninsula, Japan. The photograph has been treated so that it is over-exposed with tints of neon pink and electric blue. Hence the title of the post.

The Coastal Tranche (No. 3) — bruise

Image

A wide-angle, horizontal photograph of ocean waves with a moody, bruised blue, purple, and gray color palette, rolling into the shoreline under a cloudy sky. The dark, somber tones of the water reflect the post's title, 'bruise,' and serve as a continuation of the 'Coastal Tranche' series from the Cape to Cape Walk.

The Coastal Tranche (No. 2) — spittle

Image

A close-up, high-speed photograph of fine ocean spray and water droplets rising from a blowhole or breaking wave. The image's title, 'spittle,' directly connects to the visual of the water spray and continues the running theme of the 'Coastal Tranche' series, which explores the various forms of spray and foam from the Cape to Cape coastline.

The Coastal Tranche (No. 1) — spume

Image

A dramatic photograph of a powerful jet of seawater shooting upward from a blowhole on the rocky coastline of the Cape Naturaliste section of the Cape to Cape Walk in Western Australia. The image is filled with frothy white spray, or 'spume,' and is the first in the 'Coastal Tranche' series. Likely to be the Busselton Blowholes.

The Trunk Series (No. 7) — Parasol

A beautiful, intimate photograph with a very shallow depth of field, showing a single, tiny mushroom with a delicate cap and slender stem. The mushroom stands in a bed of mulch and dried leaves on the forest floor of the Cape to Cape Walk. Its umbrella-like shape perfectly reflects the post's title, 'Parasol,' highlighting the moment of a small discovery during the journey.

The Trunk Series (No. 6) — Wallpaint

A close-up, vertical photograph of the trunk of a native Australian tree, possibly a Karri or Jarrah. The bark is peeling away in long, irregular strips of muted gray, tan, and pale pink, creating an abstract pattern that strongly resembles old, peeling paint on a wall. The image's unique texture and color scheme directly reflect the post's title, 'Wallpaint'.

The Trunk Series (No. 5) — Chocolate Curl

A close-up photograph of the trunk of a Marri tree, also known as a Red Gum. The image highlights a long, dark strip of bark that has peeled away from the smooth trunk, curling outward in a shape and color that perfectly matches the post's title, 'Chocolate Curl'.
