Fall by the Water

Fall by the Water

There are few forces in the world as powerful as mother nature. However, once a year, nature combines the best of its assets to put on a display which captivates the viewer, bringing them into a world which transcends the ordinary, transforming into the extraordinary.

Every fall, for the short span of a few weeks, water and leaves join forces, lending each other their complementing faces, and offering humanity a fleeting glimpse into the mirror of perfection.

As many people mourn the end of summer, Joe and Becky Gibbons embrace the coming of autumn, seeking new photographic inspiration in the contrasting elements of life-giving water and the dying cycle of leaves. The beautiful process is anything but final, as every new image freezes the moment at its most beautiful time. Every new image grants water and leaves their immortality.
