I went to Breckenridge, CO a couple weeks ago and walked into Thomas Mangelsen's gallery where I was truly amazed by his large-scale prints of nature and landscapes. His photograph “Light Among the Giants” was taken of the redwood trees that were preserved by the Redwood National Park in California. I especially was drawn to this photograph because of the unique lighting that is traveling through the trees to the viewer. A light fog that gives the photograph an interesting hue dulls the back lighting. Knowing that he waited for this precise moment is captivating and I think if it were done at a different time it wouldn’t have been as successful.
Ok Jackie...you love nature and photos of nature. As per the lack of inspiration from the art you see most often conversation we had last week, we need to get you a new list of people to look at and find inspiration for your next body of work. Start looking in the library and online and lets isolate some elements of the work you are inspired by.
