We generally consider photography in regards to its ability to stop time. This includes how a photograph can capture and preserve a singular moment indefinitely. On the other hand, photography is apt at showing time passing from multiple instances. Over the past several years, I have became increasingly interested in how photographs unfold over time within a single image. This includes the use of long exposures and more recently the use of HDRI imaging techniques. Both tools have inherent qualities for technically constructing images. Equally, the "compression" of multiple instances into a single frame opens up new possibilities for experiencing natural phenomena such as light, wind, and water, for example. With the diptych Cascade Falls, I am observing the ebbs and flows of time by paring the falls in both a frozen and fluid state.
