The interplay between the up thrust rock on the left and the strong downward motion of the triangle in the centre was what drew me into this composition. The 19” lens was necessary to compress the space, and extensive camera movements (swing, tilt) were called for to insure the rocks were in sharp focus (even at f/64 there was not enough depth of field for the image I envisioned)
One of the greatest surprises I have ever had with another photographer’s work was learning that Paul Strand had worked in Nova Scotia. As one of the strongest photographers of the early 20th century, Strand had, in my mind, been one of the greats, and to learn he had explored one of my favourite subjects, the rocks of Nova Scotia, was a shock to say the least.
