falling waters

  • Photographer
    RYOTARO HORIUCHI, Japan

When I saw waterfalls, my eyes were glued to the shape of water
descending with gravity.
Ever-changing waters resemble creatures.
I saw the waters overflowing with energy, and I took
photographs of momentary shape of the waters cannot be
captured by the naked eye.
Waterfalls before me falls with a roaring sound, but I feel quiet
from the waterfalls caught in photographs,the shape of them
seemingly the time is held back.
