Liquid Topology, 2007, photo by Fred Hatt<\/p><\/div>\n

Here in the States we’re celebrating Thanksgiving, a time to honor family, food and fellowship, and to contemplate gratitude. \u00a0Superstorm Sandy recently reminded those of us who live on America’s Mid-Atlantic coast of the destructive potential of water, but as I think of what I have to be grateful for, I am thinking of the water of life, the cyclical element that falls and flows, permeates and dissolves, irrigates and cleanses, rises and expands. \u00a0Water is the blood of the living Earth. \u00a0We New Yorkers are lucky to have plenty of rain that keeps our vegetation lush. \u00a0We have a great water system with remarkably clean tap water from upstate reservoirs. \u00a0In recent decades sewage treatment has made our coastal waters much cleaner than they used to be. \u00a0We need to love and protect our precious water!<\/p>\n

My most basic artistic motivation is just to revel in the beauty that is all around us, and to share my perceptions with others, “Look, isn’t this amazing?” \u00a0I’m sure the sophisticates of the Art World find it as silly as the raptures of the “double rainbow<\/a>” guy, but this way of looking at the world is not sentimental or delusional. \u00a0 The world is a complex phenomenon of interacting forces, and the harmonies and tensions that emerge therefrom are myriad. \u00a0Aesthetic experience is fundamental to insight in science, philosophy, and the arts.<\/p>\n

I’ve made a couple of posts of my photographs of fire (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), and one of my commenters, Heart_in_Water, suggested I do a post on water, the dynamic flow that complements fire in the ancient conception of elemental forces. \u00a0Herewith, a collection of my water shots.<\/p>\n

People are instinctively attracted to water, seek it out and gather in its cooling presence. \u00a0Here’s a scene I came upon in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park, looking down from the top of a stream and waterfall. \u00a0A painter had set up an easel to make a study of the landscape, and a family took turns posing on the rocks and taking pictures of each other with their phones. \u00a0In the background you can see my friend Peter bending over to take off his shoes, compelled to dance in the stream.<\/p>\n

Even water in a city gutter can provide a glimpse of visual magic. \u00a0This standing water becomes a gap opening into a looking-glass city beneath the streets.<\/p>\n

The mirrorlike quality of still water is often used architecturally for this quality of opening up space. \u00a0Henry Moore’s monumental abstract bronze<\/a> at Lincoln Center expands to twice its size in a reflecting pool.<\/p>\n

Even still water moves on its surface. \u00a0The bronze angel<\/a> does not move, but the reflected angel quivers in the wind like the leaves of a tree.<\/p>\n

The multiple image below shows the computer-controlled dancing water jets at the Brooklyn Museum<\/a>, created by WET Design<\/a>. \u00a0You can read this set from the bottom up: \u00a0the lowest image shows the initial burst of the water jets, the second picture shows them shooting high, and the higher images show the columns of water aloft as gravity begins to pull the droplets apart and back to earth.<\/p>\n

These fountains, with their unpredictable changing patterns, induce states of calm bliss in some who watch them, and screaming excitement in the children.<\/p>\n

The city is full of more traditional fountains, all of which celebrate the thrilling movements and sounds of water flying through the air and splashing down on itself.<\/p>\n

As with fire, the shutter speed makes all the difference in photographing moving water. \u00a0A fast shutter speed freezes the water as clusters of individual droplets, while a slower shutter speed allows the movement to blur into streaks. \u00a0Sometimes a still photo of water looks like a sinuous sculpture in glass.<\/p>\n

Moving water has a prismatic quality – literally in the case of rainbows created by light shining through mists of droplets. \u00a0(Click this link<\/a> for a good explanation of rainbows, moonbows, sundogs, and other variations on the phenomenon.)<\/p>\n

Water refracts and reflects the light and object colors in its surroundings. \u00a0Water reflections weave together the colors of the environment without muddying the hues.<\/p>\n

The texture of the water’s surface varies according to the movement of the water itself and of the air moving over it. \u00a0The surface of rapidly moving water is dense with perturbation, while stiller water warps light in a more rubbery, tremulous fashion.<\/p>\n

I’ve never been able to get good photos of the ocean or surf on the beach. \u00a0For me, those pictures never quite capture the immensity and power of the breathing sea. \u00a0Smaller bodies of water, ponds and streams and fountains and puddles, share with me and my camera a vision of Nature as master painter.<\/p>\n

This Summer one of my favorite and often-visited bodies of water, the Prospect Park Lake in Brooklyn, was almost completely overtaken by invasive ferns and algae<\/a>. \u00a0Apparently our extremely mild last winter played a part in this opaque bloom. \u00a0Water is vulnerable!<\/p>\n
