This is the Photo of the Day for August 23rd, 2017 on Outdoor Photographer taken by Theresa Ditson. As she details, "Havasu Falls" is one of several waterfalls the Havasu Creek in Arizona surges down.
I chose this image as my first blog post because it reminds me of the thing I find most captivating about photography; it preserves the elements and characteristics of life outside of real time. As a music teacher, what I work towards every day is an end result that only truly functions in real time. Photography does not abide by those same bounds. Real time is necessary to capture beautiful images, but, afterwards, when that time has passed, the feelings and connections to those people, places, and things live on. It's a little bit of time that never goes away, whether it be a journey to a waterfall, a wedding day, or the last day of someone's life. Photography is innately wrapped in preservation, and I am quite excited to learn about it.
