The Marks of Man

I found this site with a taped interview with John Blakemoore http://www.lensculture.com/blakemore.html I remember in the 1980s seeing his work for the first time, it looked wonderful, just like the work of Wyn Bullock.

I missed the light today, I was on the wrong side of the Port Hills. I stopped at the sign of the Kiwi and did a quick run up Sugar loaf. After much flapping around and negotiating joggers, I managed to get one image. I took three images, one at 16 minuets exposure, the clouds looked amazing with scanner distortion. I got a contorted jogger in another, the first image was best. Bringing a book helped me wait for the image to scan. I love the distortion in the grass. Here is a close up of the grass before I have removed the colour shift . You can see the 3 colour split from the (Sony?) tri linear array, and have a taste of the resolution. Thanks for the tips on software and Macs.
