The Centre for Creative Photography Latent Image Award

and

The Atkins Photo Lab Award.

Below is a preview of the exhibition.

The title was inspired by how the image evoked a sense of an aerial photograph of a series of dirt roads in a desolate red earth landscape.

The leaves were collected from Rymill Park near East Terrace in Adelaide. Blue spray paint used to mark out long lines through the park for an event or excavation has coloured these leaves.

Te Waikoropupu Springs in New Zealand contain some of the clearest water ever measured.

Like looking into the sun, it is hard to focus. Our eyes shift between clarity and blur.

At twenty times the original size, this section of the leaf was about 20mm x 20mm (less than one inch square).

Coloured smoke or haze comes to mind. The red receding to reveal a yellow background. Detail of a nectarine.

Perhaps one of the more recognisable items although it still does stump some people. Top view of an apple.

Cantalupo refers to the fruit and also a town in Italy. Cantaloupe nel Sannio is a small town in southern Italy and the image helped me draw a connection between the street structure of such an historic town. Cantaloupe or Cantelope are names given to rock melon. The exterior of a rockmelon lacks colour so I used black and white to bring the emphasis to the textural features.
