Lichens. abstractions. Endless pattern. Different but the same.

This is on a basalt rock about 2m by 1m and about 80cm high, sitting among Chinochloa tussock grassland and Phormium flax on the top ridge line between Flagstaff and Swampy. Very humid, very often foggy, covered in clouds. These lichens (or thier ancestors) have (presumably) been 'fighting' for real estate on this rock since the last ice age.

That was a big day. I was invited to wedding in Bellshill, near to Glasgow as a photographer. I did my best, I can see there is still a lot to improve, but anyway, I started working for my professional portfolio! Here is one of my shots, I was playing with a piece of material which supposed to be a fake fire.

A quick trip to Paintworks, Bristol to see the excellent members exhibition at the RPS headquarters. Also had a chance to grab a few abstract minimalist shots in between the showers.

Started reading Bloke by Bruce Pascoe yesterday. Seems it's quickly taken effect.
