I made this photograph at an indoor pool near Atlanta towards the beginning of a day-long water #KAP7 polo clinic.

What was I thinking about when I made it? As always I thinking about and looking for light and color. I was also being fascinated by the way the reflection of the rigid euclidian geometry of the window frames and the fluid ripples in the pool interacted with each other, and how the resulting multiple angles of incidence and reflection formed continuously shifting patterns of color, light, and shadow.

But mostly I was just feeling the pleasure of seeing something beautiful.
