Travel is as important to me as making art work and it feels really great when I can combine the two or when one influences the other. I have in the last week returned from three weeks in Thailand. Though this time of year is rainy season, the weather was remarkably good which encouraged me to set up a few solargraph cameras whilst staying on Koh Phangan. I picked a few rocks along the beach to wedge the cameras in and for one lower down, disguised it with some sea weed. The exposure time was around 6 hours and it had to be cut short when I began to watch a storm blow in from the horizon.
The results from the exposures were quite interesting. A lack of sharpness seemed to prevail in both images probably due to humidity and atmospheric haze.
