Taganga is a fishing village, we recently visited, on the Caribbean Coast of Colombia. The sleepy town is centred around the beach front where cabanas and palm trees look over children playing in the tropical waters. Half of the beach is dominated by modest fishing boats, while the other half is (unfortunately) dominated by plastic bags and soft drink bottles. However, I seemed to be the only one who noticed the trash, everyone else swam through it with a big caribbean smile. I’m not sure what’s going on in Colombia, but we were surrounded by babies. Human, puppy, kitten, calf. This kitten reminded me of E.T. with it’s big eyes and bony body. This is my boyfriend, James, getting to know her. I think it’s super cute. Read More

Technical: I exposed for the background of this image to silhouette the figures against the back light. By setting the white balance to flash, I enhanced the colour temperature to an even warmer tone than the true early morning light. Black, volcanic sand with tetrapods protecting the land from typhoon swells and tsunamis. People leave their surfboards, bikes and shoes lying around, because nobody steals things in Japan. I love the morning sunlight on this boat. Technical: The hazy atmosphere diffused the sun to soften the warm early-morning sunlight. I shot at a fairly wide-angle to distort the shape of the boat and enhance the surreal feeling of the image. A few of our neighbours, with rice paddies in the foreground. Japanese people tend to have different taste in housing colours, to what I’m used to back in Australia. Pink is a bit […] Read More
