This is the last of my attempts to gather the bodies of work i have created from the past ten years of regular visits to the south shore of Nova Scotia. I have already presented my polyptychs and single frame color images in their own blog posts. This third installment are my black & white renderings.
Frankly, for years the concept of creating black & white images in this most colorful of places seemed a bit counter-intuitive. If you have spent any time looking through my color images from this project you might understand this better. Color literally oozes from rocks, plants, sea and sky in this magical place. Certainly a photograph can be about and driven by color. The land and seascapes of Nova Scotia make that abundantly clear. But ultimately i think good photographs still need a strong organizational structure beneath the colorful dressings to fully succeed and sometimes i have discovered that the over all impact of the images are even more powerful without the distraction of the color.
I would imagine that given the number of images here this black & white work could stand alone as a body of work unto itself. Still, in my dreams, i guess i have envisioned a book of all my Nova Scotia work that would combine the polyptychs, single color images and these black & whites in a single coffee table book. Are you listening book publishers? ;-)
