I visit this tree occasionally and have wasted a ton of film on it. I sits at the top of Sandia Crest near Alb. NM and overlooks the city some 5000 feet below. Last month I happened to be there when this storm came up and created some nice skies. This is one of the images I took that afternoon just prior to getting drenched.
I'd like to add that I took this negative over to per volquartz's darkroom where Jim Fitzgerald and I spent the day in one of Per's workshops.
Per printed this negative what Jim and I watched. He created an image (not this one I show here) that is so much more than what I can show with this scan. I was simply amazed.
If you ever get the chance to spend the day with Per, do so.
Steve, I agree. You had a beautiful image for Per to work with. It was a great experience watching Per work in his darkroom. He made this image come alive right before our eyes. His simple approach to printing was very refreshing. I must say you gave him a super image to work with. This is a beautiful print to see in person.
don't we all have that special spot we keep shooting only to have that golden moment happen and all the other times vanish and all we remember is that time.
