To find moisture in motion on our travels, we need to look beyond just the rivers, waterfalls, and geysers that are so much a part of the natural world. A sprinkler, on the other hand, is man made. While it may not be part of the natural world, a sprinkler’s moving water patterns can also bring meaning to our images. In this case, I photograph two men on a landscaping crew discussing their work in a Scottsdale city park. I shoot the conversation through the falling drops of a sprinkler, a critical tool for everything that landscapers create. The cascade of falling water creates a layer of abstraction here. My 1/200th of a second shutter speed isolates each drop in flight, yet also extends it into a tiny streak of light. The scene is doubly abstracted: the moving water creates a layer of abstraction and so does the man at right, by turning his back to us.
