Living on an island, we have ample opportunity to experience water views. We can take water for granted, to the extent that we don’t appreciate – or even notice – the water around us. Living with a photographer’s eyes, I have found that I’ve become more aware of my surroundings. Thankfully, the awareness goes beyond “that would be a nice picture”, and extends to a greater sense of wonder about shapes, textures, colours, and relationships among the things I see. These “water views” images represent my reactions to some of the things I see. I have arbitrarily limited the photographs to ones that contain water (in some form or another), while creating pictures that can also be evocative. The images in this display are not pictures “of” water – they are ones that “include” water.

It's as good a name as any
