The Ferry 1926

David Young Cameron made this print called 'The Ferry' with very subtle shades of light and dark. You know, sometimes the quietest things are the loudest. I wonder what it was like for Cameron to pull this scene out of the nothingness of a blank plate. The light almost seems to glow from within the paper. It's like he captured a memory, a fleeting moment, and pinned it down with these delicate lines. Look how the land blurs into the water and sky. Does it look misty, or is that just my imagination? And the ferry itself, so small, almost like an afterthought. Is it moving toward us, or away? Where are they going? Maybe it's not about the destination, but about the space in between, the feeling of being on the water, suspended between two worlds. That's what this print whispers to me.
