6th december Night Walk



Its been quite a while, 22nd August to be precise since I have done any work on my 'Night Walk' series, also known as 'Halfway From Home'

I have began shooting again, if you are unfarmiliar with the process used to create these images, from an exhibition last year, the following text accompanied the images.

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. Any questions, criticism, will be greatly appreciated.
