EXPERIMENTING WITH WATERDROPS- Positive ripples of the last drop.

For so many years, I had a fascination with a picture I once saw which I called “The Last Drop”. I can’t even remember what happened to its printed image I had downloaded. I just remember that I had it in my space, pinned to a notice board in the tiny offices I have occupied at some point in the past. It also represented the “Ripple Effect” and to me, it was a powerful reminder of how our actions, thoughts or lack thereof, can eventually affect the next steps of our lives.

When I started photography, it was by sheer chance that I would get this far and my curiosity led me to a video on You Tube about taking pictures of waterdrops. I downloaded a couple more to be able to get different perspectives. When I finally got the gist of how I could give the experiment a shot, I arranged a setup, from sofa cushions, a beautiful painting that one of my artist brothers made for me, of candles burning in the background, to create backdrops for my shoot.

I kept trying different shots and I almost didn’t stop. I was having too much fun but everything comes to an end at some point and the experiment was so fulfilling.

This later rippled beautifully into the feedback that I got from close friends who got to see the pictures. My spiritual guide saw the Mindfulness resemblance in some of them, while my lover linked it to Science. One of my oldest friends saw Poetry in it and amazingly, I had to have some of them printed for sale and one will hang on the wall of the office I occupy now. Talk about positive ripples.
