For a few minutes the sun seeps through the cold blanket of fresh snow contrasting the cold blue landscape and transforms bitter to welcoming. Winter is surprising and full of subtle detail not present in other seasons. Its low and diffuse light is full of delicate aspects that enable the photographer to capture and create extraordinary perspective.

Mark, I took Steve's mom, Shirley, up to Western Aircraft last Saturday and spied 2 of your photo's acting as welcome walls. You are a photo rock star.
ReplyDeleteIf you are ever interested in shooting some Special Olympians living life outloud - please let me know. We need some shots for publicity and funding travel for Shawn and his buddies.
Love to you and Ms. G. Nancy
Beautiful work as always!
ReplyDeleteI so agree with the sentiments regarding the low, diffuse quality of Winter light and how it can transform a scene, a place so.
