A PORTRAIT OF TIME

Images of the same tree captured several hours apart and at different
vantage points. It emphasizes how light and angle can play a crucial role
in establishing mood and impact. I found this tree deep in Vermillion Cliffs
National Monument in Arizona. A seasonal thunderstorm just passed the
area creating numerous pools that temporarily altered this desert
landscape, and provided tons of compositional possibilities.
