Wave-wrecked!

Wave-wrecked!

Probably the earliest photograph in these galleries, this was taken in 1968 on a school geography field trip to Devon. This is Hallsands raised beach and ruined village, a fishing village destroyed by a storm early in that century. Here I applied some edge enhancing in the darkroom (solarization?) to enhance the contrast and bring out the remaining brickwork.textures. Does it work? Not as well as I had hoped, especially on the right, but I still like the overall effect.
