Walk on water

Normally, you are too busy rushing to get out of  a sudden downpour. You might notice the rain falling on your face, but the hood on your rain jacket is up, obscuring your view, so you don’t see the growing stream under your feet. And even if you’re not dashing for shelter, there is only one way to experience this snapshotted shower. It is shuttered in a moment of time that you can only experience with a camera set at worm’s eye view.

When you’re rushing to get out of the rain, you might not take a mindful moment to savour each and every drop as it plummets from the sky, breaks the skin of a puddle, sinks and climbs back up, before settling in ripples and waves.

With a camera, all this is possible. And if you are the subject, even walking on water is not out of the question.
