Further to my preaching about story telling, it’s now incumbent on me to do the same. After all I spent the best part of a year in this place not five minutes from this boat shed. To be honest, I didn’t think to document the changes that went on here after different weather conditions. Nor did I purposely do the rounds of the campers who stayed in this area overnight and document their stories. I spent more time travelling around Tasmania and came here to relax. Though being a photographer, I was never here without a camera.
So this brings up the idea of telling a story rather than simply trying to capture a killer image wherever you go. In looking for that killer shot, many smaller yet significant ‘scenes’ are overlooked. It like watching blockbuster movies rather than those that weave an interesting tale and capture your imagination – one you can be emotionally invested in and follow through a storyline to a satisfying ending. A series is like this. It keeps you engaged and thinking… what’ happens next?
