Abstract

Cultural Studies photography
Photography has the capacity to capture the immediate moment, the very essence of an event and of time past, never to be repeated. These images of water are fragments of real time, 'reality on pause mode', uploaded to the digital public domain where we can share the experience of waters' grace and vicissitude. These images selected from a perpetual photographic journal, comprise a study of water ranging from freshwater ponds and lakes to the vast salty oceans. Photographed around the Sunshine Coast where I live in Queensland, Australia they represent water as a continual moving malleable physical structure, adapting to any shape and form. Through the lens of the camera, these images show the visual volume of waters' malleability as a 'motion captured'.
