The contrast and line between hard beach and soft water arcs through the frame, stretching and diminishing to infinity – we do not see a horizon, because there is no end. The give and take dialogue between the two will never end, with one holding the other back and the other slowly wearing the obstruction away. Or perhaps it isn’t so much a hard edge as one that is in perfect but dynamic equilibrium…MT

Winter plus rather harsh noon light created the impression of peering into a tree stripped of its leaves – the branches are in place, but nothing else. Structure is only broadly defined by the dark trunk and branches; the rest is an organic web giving a feeling of extremely evolved complexity – which is really not far from the truth. MT

The sun has set. The sky is dark, broodingly overcast but otherwise calm – or an impression of calmness is given by the length of the exposure. The rock is actually lit by spill from a remote house on a cliff approximately 250m away; giving an otherworldly feel to what could either be a mountain peak sitting in a sea of fog and catching the moon’s first rays, or a small outcropping in a tiny sea – the only way we can know which is by closely examining the black dots.

I stood by the edge of Lake Wanaka, watching the winds carry heavy storm clouds in from the west. Because of the speed of those winds, no weather ever lasts very long in New Zealand; if you don’t like the clouds you’ve been dealt, simply wait a little. I camped out in the car as sleet dumped, and then a little light on the horizon suggested that the storm was lifting – an for a brief moment, the flanks of Mt. Alta behind were lit as sun reflected off it through the veil of cloud that still hung over the lake. The distant shore benefitted somewhat from this light, but that single dark island remained shrouded. MT

Lake Hawea I

I drove north from Queenstown, struggling over a blizzarded mountain pass with my woefully underpowered rental car, pausing every few kilometres to install or remove snow chains, freezing fingers and getting my daily intake of iron via the absorbed rust. The pass was beautiful but there was no safe place to stop, so I did not shoot. I kept driving in search of the inevitable end of storm landscape that would come; these things blow themselves out fairly quickly in New Zealand because of the winds driving them off the Antarctic continent. Sure enough, after Wanaka and another twenty or so kilometres, I rounded a small cape and came to the other side of a low range to find Lake Hawea spread out before me – with clouds just receding over the mountains and an impossibly intense metallic cyan hue to the water. I stopped, looked, and got two shots just before the clouds blew off a little more and the sun broke through completely. The image is monochrome because it better preserves the mood – you feel the serenity of the lake, the isolation of the cabin, and the openness of space without the blues dominating.
