Anatomy of a Composition - Liminal Space

To say that the process of life is brutal and delicate, it’s best to think about the granite that began as a block before becoming a work of art: “A sculptor starts with a hammer, but finishes with a fine polish cloth.”

“How many photographers does it take to change a lightbulb?” - “100.” - “One to change it, and the other 99 to say they could do it better.”

Anatomy of a Composition - Rabbit Ears Winter Night

Getting to the western side of the Pass I found this composition - a large snow field, surrounded by pine trees, with the top of a high ridge off in the distance, but best of all, the North Star was clearly visible high in the sky above the whole setting. The challenge was that this spot is right along the road, with no real shoulder to safely park in. This would mean parking a distance away, and then standing next to the camera while it recorded the scene, 500 frames in total, or leaving the camera setting by itself on a cold winter night, along the highway, a lone witness to the traversing night sky.

Are seeing unprecedented climate events just the warnings we should be looking for? Did this grove only survive because of one climatic shift? Will it fall victim to the fires sprouting up now, that the rains won’t squelch?
