Water

Rocky Side (2013)

Masked (2013)

Rush Down (2013)

For these photos, I wanted to capture one of life most fundamental necessities, water. It is something so beautiful and majestic. For Rocky Side, I wanted to show how fast water flows. Water is one of the  of the most deadly and dangerous elements of life. It can rush down mountain sides or streets faster than one can escape sometimes. I like the contrast of colors from dark to light browns, and I like how there are multiple textures visible. This photography demonstrates the pure power of water. For Rushing Down, I wanted to slow down the motion of water and relish in its beauty. Water is so clear that is glistens. This photography also displays how water flows in chaos. The water does not simply flow straight down, it curves with the foundation and out past the rims. There is no order, just how in life there is no exact order. For Masked, I wanted to show that water can be found in the most unlikely places. In this shot, water is hidden and covered by barren, dry, rocky cliffs. One could easily walk by and not notice the water. This symbolizes that sometimes the best things in life are hidden away, hard to find. Lastly, for No Mercy, I wanted to show the pure power of water. It is mighty and bold. In this shot, water is bursting through the air, soaring to unpredicted highs. It towers over ever the trees and humans ruthlessly. As beautiful as water is, it is uncontrollable, wild and free. With enough pressure, this water will reach any height and travel any direction. With these photographs, I wanted to convey the idea that in life, sometimes the most beautiful things are the most dangerous and unpredictable things. Other times, is it what is not easily seen. Beauty is a mighty thing.
