Water Colors
Whether in torrents or trickles, water from the sky has always had the capacity to alter whatever it touches. It makes organic things grow, it washes the dust from inanimate things, it distorts our vision, makes our hair wet and allows all life to proceed at the prescribed evolutionary pace. It’s a wondrous thing, is rain.
Here we are treated to a through the lens wetly view of a pedestrian scene, made whimsical and even magical through the curvature of the drops gathered on the window. It is the other side of a kaleidoscope of everyday life, made of streams and puddles of this colorless, odorless and tasteless force of nature. Whatever ingenuous ways we create to duplicate these effects – there are none so convincing and none so compelling as those which they mimic. Here is real rain. And outside? Real life.
