Too long.
Too familiar with mountains.
Joy has been a habit.
Now
Suddenly
This rain.”
- Jack Gilbert
I took these a little earlier in our monsoon season-which appears to be earning it's name this year. The rain in the desert is a beautiful and rare thing that is wonderful to be present for, especially with a camera. The rainy season is an oportunity to photography amazing skies even without the rain. The desert in Arizona holds this amazing yellow light before a rain that I'm still trying to capture in a photograph, and that I have never seen any where else.
I have a friend who talked about making images where the rain stops. He says he gets excited about photographing the rain because suddenly there is the ability to take a million little photos in one - as the drops act as their own lenses and capture their own worlds.
“Do not be angry with the rain; it simply does not know how to fall upwards.” - Vladimir Nabokov
