Charleston Falls
Charleston Falls Preserve, Tipp City, Ohio
"The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend." - Henri Bergson
My very first visit to the nature preserve was on my travel list for a while. Finally one early Summer morning I made the plunge and made the drive to there. As expected the preserve was almost entirely empty on a weekday morning, save for a park district service truck or two. My main goal for the day was to to photograph the namesake waterfall I kept seeing online. However I took my time before, during and after to enjoy everything in between.
The beauty of my work is that in a way, I don't own anything. These beautiful natural features are the earth's, and we are very fortunate that we are able to walk around (and photograph) them in awe. I technically own the photos I took, yes, but the subject matter is of one that I keep photos as memories. In this case I am "borrowing" the waterfall however cannot obviously take it home with me, so I let it go while having photos like this as the parting gift.
