Australia
I’d like to thank Calvin for his time and patience as a model. I was trying for the look of a sailor washed up on the beach.
An old fishing boat still moored, laying on the mud flats at Port Augusta, South Australia.

another red tree… Inspired by The Red Tree by Shaun Tan “sometimes you wait / and wait / and wait / and wait / and wait / and wait / and wait / but nothing ever happens / then all your troubles come at once / wonderful things are passing you by / terrible fates are inevitable / sometimes / you just don’t know / what you are / supposed to do / or who / you are meant / to be / or where you are / and the day seems to end / the way it began” Acrylic and mixed media on canvas / November 2008
This yellow dory was tied to the wharf for the winter. The boat launch had quite a steep angle to it… you can see the ocean far below, so the dory was secured with these blue ropes.I loved the contrast between the yellow boat and the blue ropes holding it securely. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / / laminated print / /
One of the first street shots I ever took back in 1964 in the East End of London. This was before Playstations, and probably the only ‘toy’ these kids shared between them was a skipping rope. Old bomb sites still held a fascination though as a form of amusement and exploration, as can be seen here. It was taken using a Yashica Mat 120 film twin lens reflex camera that took me six months to save up for. I used Tri-X B/W film and printed on a hard grade of paper to get the punchy contrast, a characteristic of all my early B/W work. This image was photographed digitally from the original print in my portfolio. © 1964 John Hooton Photography

A morbid history of St. John’s… the hill in the background is known as Gibbets Hil, it is where all the criminals were hung in public executions. The body of water at the base of the hill is where the executioner would throw the bodies when they were dead. The pond is known as “Dead Man’s Pond”. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /
