The Silence of Water The photographs in this exhibit are the result of my contemplative study of water and its forms over the last several years. My compositions are abstract yet I view these images as a kind of portraiture; they are a record of my interaction with the waters’ energies. I create these images using the method of contemplative photography; through this process the mind is silenced and the subject is allowed to reveal itself. I photograph water throughout the seasons in its myriad forms; in winter I discover the crystalline and sculptural compositions of ice, in autumn the water’s dance with falling leaves, in spring the forceful flow of the rushing water’s thaw and in summer the refreshing and cooling spray on rock. As I look at the diversity in my images of water, it seems that I could explore this subject endlessly and never exhaust its countless possibilities.
