Fuji Rock (2002)

Since becoming interested in Photography, I find myself paying more and more attention to the weather. A brilliant blue sky makes a wonderful backdrop for nearly any subject. A heavy rain lightly mists plants and brings out their colors. A setting sun bathes everything in the golden glow of some celestial oven.

In this case, snow was falling gently in large, puffy flakes. I call this image Fuji Rock because it reminds me of the Japanese watercolor prints in the Cleveland Art Museum – no real sense of perspective, a tree reaching wide over a stone, everything seemingly at peace yet somehow maintaining a certain intensity.
