Gravity


Gravity, originally uploaded by escher....

This was the original stack collapse I photographed. These are the only ten frames I got and I think it came it pretty well.

I had no plan or idea how it would turn out. I simply threw a stone and pressed the shutter release and this was what I got. I've tried since and it has never come out as well.

Seems the first go at something can be the most successful, even if you didn't know what you were trying to do and it was all a bit of a fluke!

It got selected for a photo competition and exhibition. The large printed version looks cool and I saw people looking at it and it took them a little while to work out what was going on. It's the only time I've been a fly on the wall to see the reaction of someone to something I've made.

I've made some major updates to my website today, any feedback will be gratefully received!

The website is fabulous and so engaging. I stopped by to just take a peek and resurfaced half and hour later having only just scratching the surface. Your art is so beautiful and almost hypnotic in the way it balances natural and manipulated forms.
