The Covers are off and the moment of truth has arrived. After two years of working on this project I have finally managed to get 6 pieces into a public exhibition. This is the first time I have really had one of my personal projects displayed in public but I am sure I am not the first photographer to feel a few opening night nerves on there first showing. For any one out there who can get to the Whakatane War Memorial hall complex, I welcome your feed back on what has been a fun and enlightening journey to create a series designed to capture some elements of the human condition.
So here is the first three.
One I was told "If you want to succeed, never give up" well it didn't take me Long to realise that although this may sound like good advise the key is to know when to give up. The watering of box thorn, (a flower long gone) is a waste of time and energy so be aware, pull back now and then, reassess then try a different direction.
If there's one thing that fascinates me its youth. I had a fantastic childhood with not a care in the world and time just didn't matter. I believe that even at my age I still have more child within me that adult so thought it appropriate to highlight the promise of youth in the above image.
In our lives one of the lessons we all have to learn I (some take longer than others) is that there are consequences to all of our actions no matter how small. What better way to illustrate this that to photograph a scene reminiscent of the tale of Adam and Eve but with a slight modern twist.
Next Three coming soon.
