"Plastic Head"
"Plastic pollution of our oceans is staggering. It is a complicated story on many levels. We choose to tell a simple story with these images.
It was not my intention to make dark and depressing images. In fact I set out to enjoy a creative process with my 11 year old son. It turns out that the end product of the effort has arrived at that point however. Perhaps this is because we are dark and humourless ourselves..... We do not apologise as we simply rolled with the idea as it unfolded. I think if his Mother survived seeing these, most people will also.
These images were made in an hour one stunning Vanuatu morning, as we visited beautiful Hideaway Island for a snorkel with friends. My son Xaver volunteered to assist. We wanted to become the trapped animal and photograph it in a number of scenarios. Little did we know how confronting it would be.
When we see images of or happen across, a turtle or seabird entrapped in plastic, we feel for it. Perhaps feel shame, or anger along with sorrow, but our empathy can only go so far. The idea was to try to humanise the suffering and drowning of sea life due to plastic pollution. A horrid and most obvious early stage of the plastic cycle yet possibly, in the end, the least dangerous and insidious.
The experience of diving as deep as possible with a bag over our head was shocking, as the plastic would collapse and cling to our face, making it claustrophobic and frightening. Initially we succumbed to the impulse to rip it from our heads in panic, even though we were confident we were safe. It took a few attempts to manage it and even then it remained a challenge to keep it on long enough and stay clear headed enough to find a body position for a shot.
Back on land we realised what a powerful experience it was for both of us and in that moment at least, we could relate slightly more to the fear and trauma suffered by innocent wildlife as a result of plastic pollution.
When Xaver saw the pictures he was moved seeing himself depicted like this. From Plastic Bags to micro-plastics, this is the daily reality of sea life. Limb loss, drowning, poisoning from ingestion".

Landscape: Zoomed in
Most landscapes are wide sweeping images. Try an alternative and zoom in instead.
As I went for a walk in the woods today, I started to notice the traces we humans leave behind in nature. Combined this is a little documentation of the traces I found.
Part one of a series. See the others:

we pass this old tree regularly, and noticed the bark is packed with snails sheltering on the shady side.

Strange birds and very tall guys.
Quite a remarkable sim with creative sculptures and fascinating things at every turn. A must visit place.
In recent years we sadly have been watching a significant loss of habitat in our neighbourhood as construction of commercial/industrial parks encroaches on some of the last substantial pieces of open fields left south of the highway. In winter you could typically see Snowy Owls and Northern Harriers making a living in these fields, but this past Winter I saw neither of these species as construction ate yet another chunk of the open spaces. In Spring & Summer this also serves as habitat for other birds such as Savannah Sparrows and various shorebirds. :-(
