Ken Hermann has taken some killer shots here. We have all seen things break before. There’s usually a three-step process to breaking something. 1. You drop it. 2. It breaks. 3. You pick it up. Ken Hermann has managed to capture the moment before moment number two.
I’ve always felt a sensation of slow motion when I drop an object and it breaks. Right before it makes a mess, it seems like there is a mental picture taken. Ken Hermann has taken that concept and made it into an actual picture. Needless to say, I love these photos. I hope you do too.
