Thanks, my friend
Fantastic image, John. Excellent silky water.
Thanks Jane, nice to hear from you
Wonderful photo. 👌✋️
thanks 👋🏼
Silky, cotton water! Again the speed of the take is the thing.
There’s examples of this effect going all the way back to the infancy of photography. Speed of the take was slow by default in 1860. What’s different now, I guess, is the choice…
This feels soft, sumptuous, like silk and froth. The step-like successions of falls invites slowing down.
“invites slowing down” ❤️
I was looking at a post of Ule’s and reading the comments (translated). There was one about how doing ceramics or embroidery slows you down. She replied, “I find it soothing; it dampens the excessiveness in life.” We need extra invitations to slow down and dampen the excessiveness in life these days, don’t we?
Yes we do. But I can also imagine early humans experiencing something similar; whether it be sitting near a waterfall or sharpening a point
Yes we have so many choices now, and am sometimes disappointed when making the wrong one, hence my interest in this theme. When I have time I just try taking a number of exposures sometimes with unexpected results.
I agree; the abundance of choices can be overwhelming and at times it bears little resemblance to the very limited amount of things we could do in the dark room.
The inspiration for these images is a specific waterfall picture taken by my mentor Anthony Nobile; a small print which I saw in his studio fifty years ago. Funny how it’s stayed with me all these years…
His picture was published in the Aperture book “Octave of Prayer” in 1972. Like a lot of great photography books, it’s long out-of-print, but if there’s a few used book stores in Lima, keep on the lookout for it 😊
Ah, the dark room! I brought my enlarger to Peru when I moved to Peru
I would’ve guessed that. Your “Bodega” image has “darkroom” written all over it
In 1983. Trouble was you to buy enormous quantities of chemicals as there was only a very small amateur market here. (The only way my photos have become more valuable haha)

Thanks Philip 👋🏼
