Sunset Behind Colarusso Island, Tomhannock | 24-Hour Exposure

Sunset behind Colarusso Island, Tomhannock
24-hour exposure

When photography first emerged, some believed it might reveal the unseen — a way to glimpse into other worlds, to capture what human perception alone could not. What photography can do is dilate time — to slow the world and its rhythms so we can see them more clearly.

This is a 24-hour exposure of the sun setting behind Colarusso Island in the Tomhannock Reservoir. I made this image using found objects — because at its core, photography is a simple act: capturing light within a chamber and projecting it onto a surface. Everything else is detail.
