There is an elemental quality to this brilliantly composed photograph—a rhythmic meeting of opposites. Nature meets human engineering. Water cascades around the implacable stasis of rock.
This richly detailed image—printed from a 4 × 5 inch negative—captures the circuitous play of water down a dam in the Chichibu Area, the mountainous region northwest of Tokyo, which supplies much of the freshwater for the 37 million residents in the Greater Tokyo Area.
