The Key of B(ISTI)


The task we face as landscape photographers is to take the chaos of nature and find a way to frame it so it makes some sense. Our very best efforts take us a bit further than merely calming the chaos, at least we hope they do. Order in nature is extremely hard to find, thats why we are there; thats our job. What I want to find in the wilderness is the convergences of light and weather; those moments when everything comes together. However, I’m not satisfied with merely calming the chaos, I’m looking for lyricism; I want to be there when Mother Nature hits the high “C”; I want to be there when she rhymes.

Heres some offerings from one of my favorite places, the Bisti.

    George,
    Very creative and interesting images and I particularly like the clouds which you included in “The Hatchery”.
    Of course, I do to see something of medical significance in that picture: the rocks remind me of “schistocytes” which are fragmented red blood cells seen in a rare (perhaps one would say chaotic) type of anemia. :)

      James, you have a one track mind!

      James, thanks for your comment. However, in this instance, the affected red cells were attacked by an alien virus originally identified by Mulder and Scully some years ago..
