photo-wooze

I  recently wandered into Adelaide's CBD  on  an early morning walk to photograph the  morning light  on the eastern face of the sandy  colours  of the late modernist buildings. Light animates an object and the approach is one  of  studied snapshots. 

The buildings that I photographed were  those built around Victoria Square (Tarndayangga) precinct in the 1970s.  This kind of focused walk is the opposite of  just  going out into the CBD  one fine autumn morning, shooting  on some random theme and then hoping that something emerges. If you are not careful that is the pathway to photo-wooze ---ie.,  lots of boring images of nothing much  at all. 

I was looking for a low key emphasis on colour in the walking Adelaide project, though not in the formalist sense. These skyline snapshots   are  designed to say something about the city's history --- content  or  meaning ---  as opposed to concentrating  on technique -- eg., a concern with correct exposure, being in focus, the right way to light  a building, or the right kind of light.
