‘Australia's Ocean Baths are very familiar to my camera. Sometimes, it is enough for me to sit with eyes closed while the sounds and scents refresh those slideshows in my mind. In light like this, however, the camera must be put to work.

Smooth pavement and worn, whitewashed steps have seen the same feet skip and later shuffle, growing from tiny & soft to gnarled and wide. Parents, holding small, excited hands, nurture the tentative steps of offspring beginning their own memories.

These places are community: gatherings of clans and friends.’

Newcastle Ocean Baths, Australia, #1464
