As soon as I saw this image, I knew it was the one I wanted to write about. It awakens my senses, inspires my imagination and takes me to a place that is both beautiful and mystical. I feel as if I am the one standing on the cliffside, witnessing Mother Nature at work as a storm slowly starts to form. When I look at this picture, I can hear the waves as they brush against the sand, can feel the thick fog as it clings to my skin and can taste the salt of the sea on my tongue. Giving people the chance to see, smell, hear and taste what they otherwise might not be able to is, to me, what photography is all about and is something that I strive for with each click of my shutter.
As I learn more about Ansel Adams, it becomes apparent he must have had the same train of thought and was able to master the art of photography in a way that I will always admire.
