Description
Idle Line
Lined up in stillness, the tetrapods wait. Shot in storage near the Port of Onahama in Iwaki, Japan, this fine art black and white print captures these massive concrete forms before they serve their coastal purpose. Their scale is monumental, their surface weathered with salt and rain. What might normally go unnoticed here becomes quietly powerful – a portrait of latent strength and restrained energy.
Photographed using a Hasselblad 503CX medium format camera with Ilford Pan F film, the image is hand-printed in the darkroom using the silver gelatin process. The fog-covered cranes in the background add an industrial hush to the mood, while the front-facing composition gives the tetrapods presence-like quiet figures standing by.
This print is crafted for collectors who value photographic honesty, subtle emotion, and work made to last.
