Alien Shores Imagery
Wes Schulstad
For the past 9 years, the soundtrack of my life has been the rhythmic movement of the ocean here on the crystal blue shores of Jervis Bay on the NSW South Coast. Standing on shorelines waiting for the dawn, or tracking the path of green waves as they fold into rocky coves, and witnessing the wonder of bioluminescence. Every day holds the promise of new discoveries as the ocean moves between tides.
For a decade of my life I also lived among the fog shrouded hills and river valleys of the Central West, NSW. These were the days of earth and sky, small towns, and fields of gold beside quiet country roads. Here, in my mind, it will always be summer.
More recently, I've begun the journey back into Film Photography ... using vintage Rolleiflex and Kowa Six Medium Format cameras.
Through all of these times I’ve attempted to convey the emotion of those moments through the camera lens.
Here through these images I hope to tell you the story of these moments that are a part of my life.
