I've been laid low with a torn ligament in my lower back and that ends the planned 8x10 photography for this weekend. So I've been going through some of the roadside pictures on the computer that I took last year during the summer.
One area that I started in the roadside series was the summer grasses:
I'd just seen some of
James Cant's sunny and dry South Australian landscapes, and more specificially, his close-up images of
local grasses and brush. These were highly textured, almost calligraphic, paintings.
I had a quick look at my summer grasses photography before, just after I'd scanned them, but I didn't like the series at all. I thought the idea was misguided. So I forgot about them.
It's winter now and everything looks different. So I can see the pictures I took then at more of a distance.
