If you read my blog last week you’ll have seen that I had a bit of a rant about “collecting” locations. So I wanted to share a few images from a location I have spent many years visiting - Te Mata Bay on the Thames coast side of the Coromandel Peninsula.
Woosh
Now the point of these images is that because I know where they were shot, they hold a certain meaning to me - but the images could have been shot at almost any beach in New Zealand. My family spent many Christmas holidays here when I was a kid, so its a place I’d like to spend a good amount of time exploring and documenting - something I wish I had done more of the past fifteen years I’ve had a camera.
Fighting the wash
Call them “Abstract” if you like, but its this type of image I want to focus on creating for the foreseeable future. Stuff that could be shot at any location, but still interesting and eye catching. So in this blog post lets share a few.
One thing I’m trying to think more of is seeing images as pairs like the two above or threes aka triptychs. Creating images in this way will lend itself to eventually having a body of images that might be worth publishing in a zine or even a book.
The Cats and Dogs paw
So there we have it, some seemingly random images from a spot that means nothing to most, but hopefully some interesting shots.
Some more to come below, but if you have got this far you rally should go check out my Instagram pages if you haven’t already.
Of course theres the YouTube Channel if you haven’t seen that either. If you’d like to pick up a print there is the Print Store or if you would like another way to support me you can check out jarredwilson.com/karma :)
