Water show
By Leticia Suarez-Orendain
Water, frozen or flowing freely in a river, has never been seen this intimately until now.
Breathtaking and spectacular hardly describe the experience of viewing one of the earth’s four elements in an art form.
Perhaps the poet who said something about seeing the world through a grain of sand had the modern technology known as high-speed camera--his eyes through his heart.
We need to stand in awe as we enjoy what God has provided so generously to us and what the sensitive photographer interpreted and captured through his high-speed camera using his incomparable vision.
The microscopic world of ice was captured by D. Hirmes. He took more than 1,000 shots of ice forms by pouring water in ordinary objects, like vases and bowls, and then freezing or partially freezing them. He used another pedestrian object as light source: his trusty flashlight.
Like a child at play, photographer Martin Waugh splashed and poured water and captured them as they fell into a pool of water. He used various lights to provide drama and contrast, but everything else is his genius.
Waugh calls his collection Liquid Sculpture, which they are, but we call them Restoration of Man’s Belief in Miracles.
