Keizo Ushio Black Granite carving.

I don’t mean any disrespect to the sculptor by including the seagull perched on the top of the sculpture, but I  think by leaving it in it gives a sense of the scale of this work, its massive moving it to the exhibition from Japan would have been a major undertaking in itself. Granite is tough but it is also brittle, one false move and… I hate to think of the consequences. I really like the way that the IR brings out the detail much of which would not be seen as clearly in colour.  The more I use this little Voigtlander 40mm lens the more I like it, Its far better for me than the f2.8 24-70mm zoom which is now for sale on Gumtree…
