Waterfall after Turner

This is a close-in view of White River Falls. Standing by the edge of the falls, the whole world seemed loud and in motion. My intention was to use the camera to create a painterly image, with light and water flying around in an inchoate and impressionistic mass of light and wet spray—much as J.M.W. Turner did in his later paintings of storms at sea.
