I stand on the same sloping rock every time. The tower is straight; the photographer is not.
Expose for the nearest post and let the rest go. The meter is wrong and so, at first, was I.
Found in a coat pocket in April, shot the August before. Thirty-six frames of one hillside.
Saturday 14 May 2005, in the album Harbour. Seven comments so far.
The harbour empties twice a day and nobody watches. At ten past six the ramp runs straight into mud and the one boat left out sits on its keel, leaning like a tired dog. I took a single frame because the bus was coming.
If the tide is out, the picture is of the ground. If it is in, the picture is of the sky.
Standing on the third step, camera level with the rail, with the same lens as yesterday's chimneys.
Every picture is stored by date and place, so this one is 2005-05-14-slipway.jpg and the full size is one click away.

That boat has not moved since I was at school. Glad somebody finally took its portrait.
Is the full size good enough for a print at postcard size? Asking for my mother.

Back to todayWho takes these, with what, and how to ask for a print.
Edda Rask works at the ferry office and walks there along the harbour wall. 14 pictures so far this month, mostly in harbour weather. Comments on a picture are open for thirty days, closing in the last week and closed after that.
chronoskin began in March 2004 as a way to finish a roll of film. It is now fourteen months of mornings, one frame each, with a notebook entry when a picture needs explaining.
A portfolio, a shop or a place for camera arguments. Prints are sent for the cost of the post, and nobody is paid.
