Light and Water
on Colorful Sandstones This lyrical waterscape, superbly seen and
artistically captured by the author, is an impressive example of an
image that is both timeless and magical. From the title, one knows that
the photograph is about the playful interaction of light and water over
colorful sandstones, which could be interpreted as the enchantment of
moving water with the vitality of inert rocks. For myself, I am
fascinated by the rhythmic interplays of colors in the water, which
range from deep blues which gently merge into lighter shades of aqua
blues and turquoise. Below the surface, the orange and yellow-gold hues
could easily be imagined as from goldfish gently swimming over the
sandstone rocks. Every viewer should take the time to look beyond the
quiet beauty of this memorable print, relax the mind and try an
emotional response, which could be a reflection of their own dreams. My
own visual commentary is twofold. Firstly, it is easy to imagine that
one is looking at an impressionism era painting, and secondly, the
gentle flow of the water is musically reminiscent of a quiet passage
from Claude Debussy’s La Mer. Photographically, Anthony has captured
this image creatively, particularly by using a shutter speed that is
exactly right in order to capture the profound serenity and emotional
impact of this image.
