I spent an unreasonable amount of time deciding how to crop this scene. The original shot had sea, waves, foam, and glittering sunlight - none of which were all that spectacular, but still enough to rob attention from that dreamy backdrop. So I opted for minimalism: erase everything until only the essence remains. In a way, photography is the ultimate art of subtraction. Picking this angle over the one 90° to the left is already an act of leaving things out. And the moment we press the shutter, we’re discarding every other possible moment in time. It’s all about what doesn’t make it into the frame!

_The Evening Post_, 14 February 1925:
LOCAL AND GENERAL
…
Respecting the earwig nuisance, the director of the #Cawthron Institute wrote to the last meeting of the #Kaikoura County Council as follows:—Referring to inquiry re earwigs, which infest the shingly ground near the sea, the insect was a native of New Zealand, and the institute knows of no method of dealing with it except by means of poisoned bait. The insects are partial to slices of apple, which, if peppered with arsenate of lead, would kill them. The director knows of no instance where earwigs had been imported from other countries as enemies of other pests.
