For those not familiar with Portland, Oregon, the city’s Japanese Garden is one of the finest and most beautiful in the world. According to His Excellency Nobuo Matsunaga, Ambassador from Japan to the United States at the time when he visited Portland in 1988, he proclaimed the garden to be ‘the most beautiful and authentic Japanese garden in the world outside of Japan.’ Ten years later, His Excellency Ambassador Kunihiko Saito exclaimed over the beauty of the Garden and also agreed to its authenticity stating, ‘I believe this garden to be the most authentic Japanese garden, including those in Japan.’ “ The garden is comprised of 5 separate gardens. This shot was taken in the upper flat garden. It is a place of meditation and contemplation and is said to be a place of “pleasure—spiritual and temporal” as well as a site that denotes “happiness and hospitality” as well as “enlightenment”. I love the balance of the upper and lower images connected by the adjacent lines. To me, the dark centers represent an idea or action. The ripple effect is that which occurs from those thoughts or actions and the lines are what connect all of those thoughts, actions and their subsequent after effects together. My understanding of Japanese rock / sand garden design, however, is that they are not meant to have or convery one particular meaning, and so it is left open to each person’s own interpretation. Each time one sees it, he or she may have an entirely different response.
This photo was taken at Humarock Beach, Scituate, MA on the Atlantic Ocean. I love the way the rocks look so clean and new, after constantly being scrubbed by the water. The colors are spectacular when the rocks are wet.

THE SUBJECT: / Part of a well weathered and worn piece of black basalt rock surrounded by the interesting patterns made in the sand by the receding tide. THE LOCATION: / Photographed on Lake Cathie Beach, NSW, Australia on summer afternoon. THE MAKING of ‘Tidal Stones – Raging Bull’: / Having had some experience in shooting similar tidal scenes and processing them as abstract images I was on the lookout for any odd shapes, formations and/or flotsam left by the tide. / When I spotted this little scene the black rock was much larger than you see here but I could see the possibility of a bull’s head at the extremes of the rock. / This idea was finally realised when I flipped the image horizontally to make a mirror image of the original. / The original colour photograph was heavily processed using a “recipe” I made just for such abstract work. / Fuji S9600: RAW, f/3.7 @ 1/2000sec, ISO80, Hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. UPDATE: 8-9-09 / My raging bull was awarded a Merit in the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club’s August 2009 Competition in the Set Subject ‘Colour & Texture’ Large Colour Print Section. Enjoy!

This is Burgess Beach in Forster NSW. Two weeks ago this sand was a paradise for beach goers. Soft, yellow sand and seclusion. But now the waves have swept the golden sands into the ocean, leaving behind masses of sharp, slippery rocks. The beach is now great for photography but not so great for swimmers.
