Facing the Sun, 2006
Fundamentally, we photographers record shapes and patterns. This landscape is interesting to me, but what really caught my eye was the extension of the diagonal lines from lower right (in the rocks) to upper left (in the clouds) and the way those diagonals create a connection between the solid land and the fluid sky — all facing the sun, as though to better absorb its warmth. I do this sometimes — turn and angle my face to the sun, that is, just to bask in the light and feel the warmth. In my family this is known as "kitty in the sun" after our furry family members. Perhaps this is why the earth spins, to angle itself to the warmth of the sun.
