As the new year turns, I have resolved to lay down two moderator roles on photographers’ Instagram pages. The labour has grown too heavy, and after five years of steady commitment—begun in the long shadow of the COVID period—it is time to relinquish those duties and reclaim some quiet measure of balance.
This photograph was taken at an old, familiar vantage point overlooking Bridgewater Bay in Blairgowrie. The infrared rendering, for all its interest, could not summon the same atmosphere or grace. Even so, the journey itself was not ill-spent. If anything, I was tempted by excess—hoping to draw two distinct visions from a single visit, and learning, perhaps, that one honest frame is sometimes enough.
