Long Exposure: Stillness and Motion

The theme for this photography project is Long Exposure: Stillness and Motion. I began this adventure with a fascination for long exposure images, particularly with regard to the way they capture motion. Standard portraiture or landscapes are generally crisp images that capture stillness, a frozen instant, and the seeming solidness of physical objects and bodies. Long exposure work, on the other hand, shows the progression of movement over a period of time. Physical solidness gives way to visual energy, fluidity, and spirit; nebulous trails of motion. Physics tells us that nothing is solid, all physical matter is a dance of energy. My goal here was to play with that idea by juxtaposing what we would call stillness and motion, animate and inanimate, the seemingly solid with the seemingly nebulous. 

I have consciously avoided the cliché of shooting images of traffic with long exposure, and have instead pursued the ideal of images that offer something different. My love of this adventure ensures that I will be doing more of this work in the near future. I hope you enjoy these in the meanwhile....
