This project is yet another of my continuous effort to bridge the gap between traditional photography and traditional painting. A self portrait within the mythical story of Ophelia.

Grain Tower is a mid-19th-century gun tower situated offshore just east of Grain, Kent, standing in the mouth of the River Medway. It was built along the same lines as the Martello towers that were constructed along the British and Irish coastlines in the early 19th century and is the last-built example of a gun tower of this type. It owed its existence to the need to protect the important dockyards at Sheerness and Chatham from a perceived French naval threat during a period of tension in the 1850s. Rapid improvements to artillery technology in the mid-19th century meant that the tower was effectively obsolete as soon as it had been completed. A proposal to turn it into a casemated fort was dropped for being too expensive. By the end of the 19th century the tower had gained a new significance as a defence against raids by fast torpedo boats. It was used in both the First and Second World Wars, when its fabric was substantially altered to support new quick-firing guns.

Once again, no large cameras and only the iPhone. Sometimes one is not in a photographic mind space and one no longer has 'a vision'...

I begin with awn image in mind but end up somewhere else...

This is the first of 2 projects on Lake Titicaca in the department of La Paz, provincia Murillo. The lake is considered to be sacred by both Cristians and Aymara natives. In 2012, the Global Nature Fund nominated the lake "Threatened Lake of the Year", pollution being the main cause and the constant receiving waters; in 2023 the water level went down by 3 meters.
