The colour arrives first.
A small weathered dinghy sits at the water's edge, its scarred red hull cutting sharply through the surrounding blue and gold. Peeling paint, worn timber, chain and rope reveal a boat that has been used rather than preserved.
Made on Fuji Velvia film with a Sinar 4 × 5 camera, the photograph gives this ordinary working object the attention normally reserved for landscape. What interests me is not perfection but evidence—colour faded and chipped through use, and a familiar object becoming briefly remarkable simply because I stopped to look at it.
