On this trip through the western part of the US, driving my sister’s camper from Montana back to her house in Marin County, California, I got to pass through a few photographic ‘meccas’ — locations where the titans of American photography worked: Adams, Weston, Curtis, and others. This makes it both inspiring and sobering territory for making images.
Balance, In Life and Photos
Although I view myself mostly as a photographer of people by inclination, I would like to think I’m at least competent to capture the occasional landscape. And on this day, the drama of the sky and patchy light had me visualizing in black and white. That medium seems to emphasize the patterns and forms in such chiaroscuro conditions.
