“You cannot step into the same river twice”. – Hereclitus
Yes! Because it is not the same river, and you are not the same person. I think about this when I go out to shoot because it reminds me that everything changes! To me, landscapes are in flux and are always in the process of becoming something new; either through slow geologic processes, moment by moment in the ever changing light, or even altered by human hands and human dreams. My work is all about this dynamic.
