      Hello,
      playing with water, some flashlights and a magnet valve.
      Hundreds of beautiful drops, already gone when looking at the frozen moment in the picture.

        Jinyo, as Anne says, we aren't going anywhere, take care of you and join us when you can,

        Kotie, these photos are so pure and beautiful, I can almost hear that water drop! I think this is one of the gifts also of black and white images - there is very little distraction from the subject in terms of background etc. Thanks so much for sharing.

            Kotei,

            As though the water were alive! Which I guess it is....Stunning. Thank you for sharing.
            Yes water. Yes gravity.

            Deep bows.

                            Black and white is a ton of fun. Simple and elegant.

                              Hi, thank you everyone for kind wishes. Not much change, but I do at least have the opportunity to mentally drift

                              Anne, Meitou, Kotei and Jishin - the images are stunning.

                              I think its interesting that so far we haven't taken the human presence as a focal subject but are inspired (perhaps more) by the natural world?

                              I'm not sure why but I tend to freeze a bit around the expression 'suchness'. I think there's a danger (for me) that I could become goal driven - like
                              trying to force a certain quality in my work or using it as a marker of judgement/value.

                              just some thoughts,

                              Jinyo

                                What could be more human than this fellow?
