WALL, Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion 2004
Notes on WALL, Devil's Bridge, Ceredigion 2004
This is one of my favourite images. It was taken in an empty caravan and shows a wall covered in peeling wallpaper and further surfaces beyond the wallpaper. Although printed lightly to reveal the textures of the wall it was taken in very dim conditions. An exposure of 45 minutes was used and judging by the negative it should have been longer, perhaps closer to the 2 hour mark.
I recall almost every photograph I have taken. This is an exception because I recall this even clearer than almost every other photograph. The view from under the darkcloth was very dim. Focussing took about five minutes, the top folded piece of wallpaper was a few centimetres protruding and with a very short depth of field meant I had focus carefully to be sure the whole scene was in focus. The floor of the caravan was also rotten. I cold move but very carefully in case the tripod legs move and the whole image would have recorded as a blur.

Ar brydiau, gorchwyl anodd yw chwilio am haniaethau yng nghefn gwlad canolbarth Cymru ond wrth ddod o hyd i wal addas, mae'n brofiad gwerth chweil. Wrth Iwc, ceir digonedd o hen adfeilion, ffermdai ac adeiladau diwydiannol a allai ddatgelu waliau fel hon.
