The Illusion of Reflection

I visited this mill several months ago after a rather heavy rain storm and became totally captured with the reflections in pools of water as the rain drained down through the levels of the building. This was also my downfall, as I walked across a flooded floor with my focus on the next shot I wanted to set up I suddenly found my self chest deep in some extremely rank oily stank water in a pit next to a gutted Toledo scale. One second I'm walking towards the light the next second I'm falling. Everything drenched, completely soaked. I dragged myself up and out of the watery hole and said to no one listening "Fucking glad that wasn't an elevator shaft or worse". The damage was done however, camera and gear were submerged. After pouring the water out of my boots I tried to make the most of the rest of the day. I couldn't exactly get the crisp and the clarity from my shots that I wanted after that so I am mighty disappointed with this set, camera took a beating that day. Moral of the story; never trust a puddle in the dark.

16 We Just Put It Over Here



17 As I Rust So Let Me Rest

So how did the camera fare from this? It's one thing I've always been super worried about, getting it wet.

DAYUM!

and yes, did the camera live?




When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store.

Well after a good cleaning and drying out it seems no worse for the wear. Nothing hurt but my pride, though I do tend to put some serious abuse on my equipment and sometimes myself during these explores In the end I suppose we hope everything we go through is going to be worth all the things we get to see.
