Description

This is one of my favorites from this close-up study of a fence. The wood is split and pitted, a nail has been pulled through at one point, and the paint has peeled away making an interesting patina.

The knot in the timber of this fence has been revealed as the paint chips off. Those holes are woodworm, creating a randomly organic pattern.

Towards the bottom of this old fence the paint was really peeling and the timber had started to split. Old nails, since removed, have left their scars and the woodworm have moved in. It feels damp but still abstract.

At one time this fence was painted green, but it’s now weathered and peeling, creating interesting textures for this shot. I’m guessing those holes are woodworm, which shows its age. We’re tight-in again for an abstract feel.

Description

This is an old fence in San Francisco. It’s unremarkable at first look, but when I got up close, I noticed how varied it was along each section, showing different weathering and character. The peeling paint and the glimpse of the garden beyond give this shot texture and intrigue. This is the first image in a series of seven which I hope will show the variety in the timber, the grain, paint and weathering. These are all in three feet of each other, and the shots were taken on a bright Summer’s day in June. We’re under shade but I didn’t need a flash due to the ambient light.

I hope you like them.
