Extonare
Extonare
Whilst researching an appropriate title for this image, I looked up the etymology of ‘astonishment’. It takes part of its origins from the Latin ‘extonare’, which is derived from ‘ex’ - meaning out, combined with ‘tonare’ - to thunder. The literal use for the word extonare was ‘to leave someone thunderstruck.’ I couldn’t have stumbled upon a more appropriate name for this image. And yes - I research etymology for a lot of words. I’m a nerd alright. All that aside, this photo was taken somewhere in the depths of Victoria’s south west coast, during a cold and scary swim, where ending up in the wrong place was not an option. One of those swims where it’s just you and a friend a long way from anywhere, where making back to shore afterward is somewhat of a relief. But when there are natural forces as astonishing as this available to experience, the joy and wonder comfortably override the fear.
All images are printed on the highest grade fine art materials available. I’ve chosen ILFORD Gold Fibre Gloss as my go to cotton paper, and for canvas the top of the line ILFORD Galicia. All canvas prints are sealed for protection and longevity. Both mediums are museum grade, and will last a lifetime (and longer). Using a local, Geelong based fine art print lab (www.aeternalab.com), their knowledge and expertise combines with the large format Epson fine art printer, not to mention the top of the line Epson Ultrachrome inks that produce stunningly accurate and vibrant fine art prints.
Framing is available upon request.
