In chaotic-feeling times, it is more important than ever to focus on the things that help give us a sense of stability. Those who dance, play sports, and practice martial arts or yoga know that the key to achieving a centered balance is finding a steady point to focus on. When we direct our focused attention on something stable – we become more stable ourselves. I think this is why I love photographing poles and structures in water. The long-exposure technique I use makes the water around the forms soft and spacious, while the poles remain sharp and sturdy – something to focus on.
