A majority of the photographs existed before the making of this book. The photographs of manhole covers and the relief rubbings were created in Sakamoto, Japan in 1996. The fire photographs, titled “ Fire Water” were of light reflecting on my pond in March of 2001. Long exposures and a tungsten light source produced the warm, monochromatic colors. The photographs of water were made from my tv screen.
