In the Pond Series I’ve photographed a site which is small and modest - anything but dramatic. At most times of day it looks like a murky city pond. But watching by the water’s edge during many late afternoons I’ve witnessed magical permutations. The sinking light falling on the water’s surface revealed depth, patterns, rich darks and intensely bright colors; elongated reflections of trees and their shadows dazzled the surface of the water. I’ve loved the challenge of witnessing the mundane transformed for one fleeting moment - as ‘real’ as any other moment - and capturing that.
