MOUNTAIN LIFE - Blue Mountains | Spring 2018

72 ML BLUE SPRING 2018 ABOVE Certain areas of the Norisle ’s hull are what I call “instant compositions,” meaning that in those sections, the qualities of the surface, and arrangement of elements, are so alluring, that very little time is needed to “get the shot.” In terms of a photograph, it’s all there.What is seen in this image is merely a sliver of the old ship’s body, just above the waterline. BELOW Standing beside the Norisle at 11 p.m. is like having a one-on-one conversation with a sleeping giant. Nobody else is around this marina after dusk.And as the night tide rolls in, the vessel’s hull gently rubs against its moorings, releasing a flurry of staccato creaks that echo off the buildings nearby.
