The Rock in the Stream


This image summarizes the difference between still photography and videos. Imagine standing on the bridge over this stream and looking down into the water swirling around the rock. The experience would include the roar of the stream, the wind, the temperature, in short, all of the sensations of a walk in by a canyon stream. When I take a digital image of the stream, all of the concurrent sensations disappear. What is left is an abstract image of the instant when the shutter of the camera and sensor captured the image. But by viewing the image, you can begin to sense what might have been going on when the image was created. You can also view the image as a completely abstract production.
