This is one of the favourite images from this Winter. I was walking in the woods above Wisemans Bridge, there was a misty rain falling and I had the feeling that I wanted to shoot images that obscured my view. I never think about why I do the things I do when I am out with my camera. They are just feelings that come to me. Being out with my camera is a kind of meditation, the same as when I paint or read or do anything creative. I am in the moment. My intuition takes over. I think about nothing. There is just me, my camera and the subject of interest on that day.
When a picture works, it is always a surprise to me. I shoot a film, sometimes when it has been developed there is nothing exciting on it; other times there may be one image, sometimes more than one, that is inspired by the moment and I love when that happens.
