Grounding Water
Thinking About Earth

Today, I’ve been thinking about my Earth series and the different considerations I need to take from what I’ve been doing with water.

Some of my favorite things to photograph at the moment are rotting trunks, and the juxtaposition of them with mosses and other life growing on them is amazing. It seems like I’m more able to perceive abstract forms growing naturally that are not necessarily related to how light creates them — much different from the significant role light plays in my water photography. It’s about observing these forms and approaching them more closely.

The Secret Place

Oh, I’ve been so restless!

Blue sky

Cool

Warmer

Moss on water

Unbelievable green

Earth

Then suddenly—a snake coiled

Still

Immovable

Unafraid—sunbathing

Sounds of water

River

Earth

New growth

Sanctuary

I, observer of nature

Capturing moments

With my camera.

I am happy now.

“Oxide” was photographed at upper Cascadilla Gorge in Collegetown, Ithaca. Taken on 3/20/2010, the Spring Equinox. The sky, bright blue. Beginning of spring. I find this rock unexpectedly that has beautiful rusty autumnal colors. I ask myself, “Is it real?”
