Recently I have been seeking out public pools in the off-season and capturing them without water. Generally this means they are closed, locked-up and access is limited to a perimeter fence. Without the light modifying characteristics of the water, these places assume a different atmosphere resting on manufactured contrivance.
“...Photography is a response that has to do with the momentary recognition of things. Suddenly you're alive. A minute later there was nothing there. I just watched it evaporate. You look one moment and there's everything, next moment it's gone. Photography is very philosophical.” - Joel Meyerowitz
