better left unsaid

The tex­ture of the rock pushed up from the earth and exposed to the sea pro­vides an almost end­less amount of vari­a­tion. Every­where I looked there were pos­si­bil­i­ties for an inter­est­ing photo. These rocks remind me of the hands of hard work­ing peo­ple, full of lines both shal­low and deep, rough sur­face, shad­ows and high­lights. Abstract in a sense, the prod­uct of ran­dom forces.

I’m look­ing for­ward to mak­ing a large print of this.
