Several weeks ago I took a workshop by David Baker at
Port Adelaide, to extend my photography skills, reinvigorate my photo practice
and stimulate my style. David Baker is
an excellent tutor for all these things and after some time discussing
technical aspects and approaches to camera work we took a group walk around the
Port, discussing subjects that presented themselves. After a lovely lunch at a pub we went off on
our own to shoot what appealed to us individually, reassembling to discuss our
results the next day. One of the things I
found intriguing was the sheer amount of rope used in the boats along the wharf
– the volume, different types, the strength it must take to haul on that thick
rope in cold wet conditions, and the textures of the rope itself.
