Popping bubbles

Richard Heeks takes photos of soap bubbles. Apparently they don't pop, but instead rip and tear. How violent! But still so beautiful.

Neat photos. :) It amazes me how a photographer can actually capture something as temporary as that.

It just shows that no matter how trifling the little things are, those few moments are timeless.

Hope you can drop by my blog sometime soon. :)

bjorn said...

The bubble doesn’t quite just pop.
It rips/tears/shreds.
It violently dies.
With the other end at eternal bliss.
Oblivious
to Felicity’s impending demise.

OpusMuse said...

OMG! These series of shots are awesome! I've seen the same bubble burst in motion on tv before, but I never thought it can be captured on photos! So cool!
