This week, in conjunction with January's Featured Gallery, Art Of The Day looks at Black and White Photography.
In February 2001, we had a real nor 'easter of the legendary variety here in Connecticut. I wanted very much to be able to capture the actual flakes as they appeared in real life in my photograph.
It is my hope that the photo brings the viewer inside the storm and that he/she can actually feel the cold of the swirling snow and wind. I found the contrast between the density of the cedar tree in the foreground with the wispiness of the deciduous trees in the background rather intriguing, as well.
Something about this photograph puts me in mind of the kind of serenity one feels in oriental pieces.
