Quidi Vidi Village, Newfoundland

This is not just a photograph of a rope. It is a photograph of a luxuriously relaxing afternoon meandering beside the sea on a quiet road, drinking in the textures and layers of the village. It is a photograph of Newfoundland weather and its effect on the rope and on the wood, both of which have been rendered monochrome and very soft.. almost fuzzy to the touch! It is a photograph of a fishing community, and of a tradition that may have been fractured but will never be exterminated completely. And it's a photograph that brings me back to one of my days in beautiful Newfoundland. After all, isn't that one of the main reasons we take pictures? To remember days and experiences, not just locations or objects.
