I always feel the drama and emotion of the pasture, a timeless and iconic place for me, but I tend to capture the drama when I use my battered old infrared camera, which sees the truth, it sees light and texture that my human eyes can’t see.
In my mind it is the photography of feeling, it sees what I can’t see, what is unseen. This after, in the bright sun after a rich and glorious and swirling sky, Maria and I went out to the pasture for the afternoon chores. I watched Bud and Fate, Maria shoved some manure out of the barn.
It was a common, ordinary scene, but my camera captured the drama and emotion in it. I think all of my photos are emotion, at least, each one touches my emotions or I don’t take.
Wow, Jon, your photo reminds me of the dramatic scene right before Dorothy and Toto were swept up and away to Munchkinland in the land of Oz by the Kansas tornado! This was one of the first movies my sisters and I were ever allowed to watch when we got our first TV, of course, back in 1954. There were four of us kids so we could never afford to go to “the movies” in town until we were older and had jobs of our own.
What an absolutely stunning photo Jon. Your artistry is amazing!!
The clouds look angry…but perhaps it’s only because they are in black & white. Beautiful view, as always!
