Forest Floor #5
As I lay there, allowing the shapes and forms of the forest floor to engulf my thoughts, I reflected on the past 2 weeks when, each morning, I had visited this place and recorded its moods. It began as a prison for struggling native plants, then a haunting place with the prospects of death at each turn, and finally life and colour.

For a bloke my age, its not easy being a worm. But once down there, I found a whole new world of colour and life. It became another fantasy and I found myself just lying there, staring at the forms and textures and almost forgetting why I came here — to take photographs.

I returned to the forest the next morning after a sleepless night. During the evening an image had developed in my head as to where I wanted to go with the next shots in this moody place. As lifeless as a plantation forest can appear at times, there was always a sense of presence; someone lurking behind the next stand of trees, waiting and watching.

There are a few times in the year when the condition present themselves for an opportunity like this. Cyclone Carlos was at its peak, a 2 meter storm surge was imminent, rain was pelting down, and the sea and sky seemed to swallow everything as the last light drained from the sky.
