Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Silver gelatin print on semi-gloss fibre paper. Photograph depicts two men on a platform painting the hull of the ship HIMALAYA.

Of this image, David Moore said 'Standing on the dock below HIMALAYA, I saw these Lascar seamen repainting the hull from a fragile plank support. With acrobatic balance and dexterity the painter placed the long-handled brush in the dangling paint can. Light is the photographer's closest ally and pictures can be created between the play of light and shadow. These strong diagonals make interesting shapes and the rivets appear as a pattern of stitches on a quilt of steel'. (page 36 Moore, D. 'Fifty Photographs', published by Chapter and Verse 2000)

David Moore (1927-2003) was one of Australia's most respected photojournalists.
