This photograph was taken at the pond that connects directly to Lake Anne, via the creek, in Reston, Virginia. It is an image of the reflections on the surface of the water at the relative far edge, and is a representative fragment of the chaotic turbulence of this segment of current. The very small and successive waves were relatively calm, creating a tightly compartmentalized rhythm. Each geometric segment of the reflection was later digitally painted.

The camera angel helps to open discourse about the manmade nature of Reston, as the reflection includes a view of some of the cubist architecture of the Lake Anne region – seen in the lower right corner, sitting atop a hill. And extending across the base of the hill, and across the middle of the image, there is a walking path, part of the network of pathways central to the live-work-play philosophy behind the planned community of Reston. While the world beyond the edges of the image continued on, creating endless variations of the theme, the camera captured this image and made it static and concrete. In this same sense, the depth and surface of the historic futurism of Reston has continuously been made concrete by the architecture and development that began in 1961, and still thrives today.
