1000 Waters (Oceans & Friends)

When I feel disconnected from myself, loved ones, or the Earth, I find it helpful to remember that water is relentless in its efforts to connect. Water is in constant motion, changing and transforming, linking everything to everything else on this planet and beyond. 1000 Waters (Oceans & Friends) is part of the 1000 Waters series; video meditations on the element of water. All of the shots in 1000 Waters are culled from my archive of daily video shooting with a consumer camera, a Flip camera or iPhone. Since April 1, 2011, I have been shooting a single-take, 60-second video each day, called a Minute Movie. I recently organized the Minute Movies into a massive database of over 5000 shots. About 20% of the shots in the archive contain water in the form of streams, lakes, the ocean, fountains, waterfalls, bath tubs, sinks, rain, hot springs, and more.
