Story

Is the story here the volcano, the stream, the weather? Ultimately the story proved to be just as much behind the lens as it was unfolding before it. Nothing like a little mist and skylighted sun to add mood to a photo. I had been conducting fieldwork on the volcano in the background the previous six SUNNY days. Following that, inclement weather finally gave me a day off to do photography. So much mood and drama was captured that day driving below the clouds, above the clouds, waiting out rain and sleet, and I loved every second capturing this shot I had planned of a place that is very special to me.
