WATERFALLS, CASCADES & STREAMS
The magic of flowing water.
There's something truly magical about flowing and falling water. The motion is mesmerizing; it's like watching a campfire — ever-changing. Some waterfalls drop as classic bridal veils, some tumble over terraced ledges, others roar through narrow chasms. The erosive power of falls and streams carve spectacular gorges, create potholes in stream beds, and drill down through layers of rock and time.
Photographically, flowing water presents innumerable creative possibilities, painted by light and weather. Sunlight adds sparkle to the water. It alights the surrounding foliage and casts colorful reflections. Stream beds are eroded into fantastical geometric shapes and patterns, exposed by varying water levels. Our quick exposures freeze water's awesome power; flowing water goes silky in long exposures, becoming metaphors for time in motion.
