my photo 

 this picture by Mark Adams really spoke to me at the gallery the texture in this photo was amazing to me

all the photos in this collection  are c-type prints silver based colour enlargements from 10 by 8 inch kodak portra 400 negatives mounted on dibond  the images look so good mounted like this almost like they are so light there floating but also such a nice shine to them like they a coated with glass.the size that this picture was printed really let you see all the detail and the texture in the picture
the idea about this series is to recreate a painting by william hodges of one of the spots where captain cook  landed on one of his  voyages  of new zealand 

22.6.2014. Astronomers Point, Stump of Tree Chopped Down 1773, Pickersgill Harbour, Tamatea-Dusky Sound.

i was hocked  by these two photos when i saw them in the gallery  i couldn't pick which one was my  favourite so  I'm doing both

landscape ii berlin  2014 c-type print 217 by 320 mm unframed 

landscape i berlin 2014 c-type print 179 by 254 mm unframed 

both of these pictures are mounted on mat board  behind non reflective glass the way that these photos have been presented gives them a slightly classic  feel which works nicely with how the photos are in black and white
thses pictures are a kind of optical illusion  the mounts look quite big  but in fact they are not that big you can tell this by the tyre tracks in the dirt this is really quite a clever trick
i dont know what the story behind this photo is but it got to be a funny story
