Homo Sapien

I know not what I appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. – Isaac Newton

Fluctus

On a set of bluffs during low tide, I managed to position myself on the rocks so I could get close enough to the water without getting wet or falling into the deep and dangerous water below. I found a spot where the water did not land due to the wind and the angle of the rocks. I settled in, secured the camera to my harness so I wouldn’t lose it in the water and started snapping away. The wind, noise of the water and the paranoia of a big wave coming in and grabbing me made it a very exciting shoot. The objective was to capture the crisp clear sea water bouncing through the air off these barnacle covered rocks. This shot is of the instant before the water crashes into the rocks. Of course the water is already frothy with excitement and the contrast is very exciting. To me it is a a dizzying display and shines like glitter. There is no material on the planet more destructive than water.

I took this photo of Amilkar rubbing the feet of Kimberly on the afternoon of Feb 7th. I shot it with a D600 on a fixed 50mm 1.8 Nikon lens. I crouched down low as I wanted to best capture the carrying eyes of Amilkar (who is a potter) as he caressed her feet. It was very sweet and they tolerated me snapping shots during their moment.
