For me, one of the most fulfilling aspects of
photography is having the opportunity to get blasted by blowing wind and
snow as I try to take a shot. As I snowshoe out of the trees and come
upon a mountain lake, the sides of the valley fringing
the glacial bowl containing the lake funnel the wind, making it even
more intense. Generally, I have to kneel or lie on the ice to keep from
getting blown over. I think part of what I love is the opportunity to
help YOU, the viewer, feel like you are a part of the energy and
excitement of the storm, just as I am. I want you, too, to feel like
you are being blasted clean of all of your societal stresses, if only
for a few minutes!
