Seattle Waterfall

When I was in Seattle, my friend Matt and I went outside for a cigarette at about three in the morning. There was relatively little traffic and we could hear water running so we walked toward the street to find a broken sprinkler shooting water into the road. We went back inside and grabbed my camera and tripod and walked back out to observe the scene. I started shooting 20 second exposures of the water and asked Matt to stand in front of it. I didn't tell him how to stand so he started making up poses. He came up with this and ended up putting his cigarette in his teeth and puffing on it for 20 seconds to get the appearance of water coming out of his mouth. When I'm in Seattle he ends up driving me to surrounding Washington areas to shoot nature stuff and always has interesting poses and ideas to offer.
