water, when faced with the mechanical, formulaic nature of the camera, slows down just long enough to verify: always in transit, whether indolent or squeezed within the embrace of gravity, water is motion, motion is energy, and energy is light.  carved rocks, exposed earth and tree roots the size of small cars, this falling sliver of paris creek has, in recent weeks, often served as a window into something that i will probably never understand, let alone be capable enough with words to explain, but the sounds and the crystal water say plenty to my ears, picking up speed as it carries on.  light in motion, stopped and examined, every single time i go up there, headed into those clouds, such wonderful ironic metaphor, as i consider the brightly burning days allotted each of us to walk where we may walk and to see what we choose to see.  paris creek, douglas island, alaska.  2011
