Steve's Photographic BLOG

A stretched gull wing door stretching up and out from the body yelled 'diagonal lines' to my brain in the somewhat cramped retail store. Look at what I captured!
Part of my Blue River series, Mates captures a well loved fishing boat and a private yacht at anchor with a majestic mountain backdrop. These mates are at anchor close to each other at the south end of Franlkin in the Huon River. Rivers can turn all sort of colours, much like the sky. Dusky blue was the time of the day when I shot my Blue River series. I spend time soaking in these images when I want to remember the Huon River in one of its finest moments.

Late on a day in June, they all must have retreated to the cafes, leaving the beach to be captured, with some colourful cars decorating the fringe. I love the way the waves break on the sand – it reminds me of lace. You can also see the seaweed being pulled back and forth by the water. This is one of my favourites and has been featured recently in Forty South Magazine (Winter 2024) and the Art Trails Tasmania exhibition at Fitzpatrick’s Inn.

Forty South Magazine has gone to print with my images, and given me a glowing tribute: "There are three areas of Forty South where photographers of Tasmania elbow aside writers about Tasmania: the cover, our Portfolio feature, and our Parting shot column on the inside back page. Never before has one photographer occupied all three areas in one issue of the magazine. Meet the work of Steve Barnes, and turn to pages 45 and 96 to see more about that work, and about him."
