Below are two analogue photos from the on-going, post-studio roadside series. This is a minor photographic series that has emerged from the various poodlewalks in and around Waitpinga on the southern Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia.
The site of the first photo is the southern side of the eastern end of Depledge Rd whilst the site of the second photos is Halls Creek Rd, with both sites in Waitpinga. Both photos being made with a Linhof Technika 70 coupled to a Linhof 6x9 film back, and Kodak Porto 160 ASA film in the late afternoon.
What could be more mundane than the roadside of a back country road, which people treat as a dumping ground for their illegal dumping? What could be less uninteresting as an artwork? It is about as interesting as Ed Ruscha's serial photographic project entitled Various Small Fires that presents a sequence of such objects (matches that are alight, a lighter that’s fired, a lit cigar, a lit cigarette, an ignited gas ring and so forth).
