Moonlight Over Water
The following images are exposures of different bodies of water reflecting/refracting moonlight. I am very intrigued by the properties of this phenomenon. It speaks directly to Einstein’s ground breaking wave-partial duality theory while at the same time alluding to a representation of sound. By using certain camera techniques there is a wide range of images you can produce from such a seemingly simple light source. Although the images are reflections, refraction plays an all-important role in the rendering of this subject. It allows one light source to be fractured over a large portion of space. The relationship between light and sound is a connection that can be found everywhere and something that I am exploring more and more through observation and research. These were shot on a few different bodies of water. Some are on the Pacific Ocean and span great distances and some are shot over rivers only spanning about 30 feet. Due to the nature of currents and wind patterns, as well as the different angles at which the moon hits the water, each exposure is unique and playful in its own right.
