Saltwater ballads

I feel a connection to the mood of these images, the feeling the weather and nature during the shoot to that of the poems by John Masefield’s Saltwater Ballads

Here is an excerpt from the book:


SEA-FEVER

I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

I feel melancholy brings out the best of my photography, I do attempt joyful and playful photos but very rarely can I connect with the image.
On this profile my goal is to present timeless and tasteful portraits, with ambiance and a story.
