“What on earth can you do on this earth but catch whatever comes near you with both hands, until your fingers are broken?”
These awesome photos, in which rolling waves appear to be both perfectly frozen in time and miraculously made solid, are the work of French photographer Pierre Carreau.
Carreau “shoots waves with a variety of high speed cameras using various macro and wide angle lenses, capturing water shapes that appear more sculptural than liquid.”
Visit his Pierre Carreau’s website to view many more examples of his amazing work. He also offers prints of some of his images via Clic Gallery.

The suspect in the Giant Rubber Ducky Deflation of 2013 is seen here in a screengrab from surveillance video released by local police. He is considered armed (with a giant needle) and dangerous, and was recently linked to an outlaw organization formerly known as the Children’s Television Workshop. Officials have not cited a motive, but a former acquaintance of the suspect, known only as “Bert,” said he never saw this coming. ”He was sweet, gentle, and a good lover,” said Ernie, an ex-roommate, who added ”Perhaps Bert knew, after all, that rubber ducky wasn’t the one.”
