Waterlines and slow journeys

Looking along the waterline

Instead of looking only across the water, we turn toward its edge. The textures found there offer a quieter account of the landscape and a useful starting point for a short photographic sequence.

Water gives a landscape its own sense of time. Reflections change with the wind, while the edge of a lake or a river reveals small details with every turn. We collect notes from paths, shorelines and places where a journey slows down.

From the journal

For photographs near water, consider the shoreline as carefully as the horizon. Foreground texture and a simple frame can tell more about a place than an uninterrupted view across the surface.
