I recently visited the coastal town of Hermanus whose name always makes me feel a bit weird. The weather was of the (calo)type that William Henry Fox Talbot might have photographed and included in his exhaustive 'PENCIL OF NATURE' published 1844.
Light effects, 9m swells, squalls. It was beautiful.
Living at the base of a large and impressive rock has its drawbacks: how the hell does one represent an over-represented natural landmark?
Investigations are underway and point towards a series of discrete phenomena rendered without obvious manipulation. Some of the other shots are film, processing and subject-matter tests. For people with attention spans.
If you don't get it walk along the Sea Point promenade in stormy weather listening to Aphex Twins 'Selected Ambient Works' with some prime cans wrapped around your head. AKG
