I enjoy working with really intense light. I love it when vibrant colors streak across the clouds and the world looks like it is on fire as in “Arctic Red Morning”. It’s easy to go through a roll of film on days like these.

In November of 2004 for three continuous days the light was really subtle. I might have put a single roll of film through the camera over that combination of days.

On the days when really intense light was available I struggled with finding an image that would bring out all of the deep purples that would appear just before the sun would crest the horizon. I couldn’t get it to work. I tried a combination of set ups and used a number of frames of film but couldn’t get the image to come out right. What I didn’t know is that I already had the image.

While putting together the photographs for this show I bumped across this image which had come from the days when the light was really subtle. I liked the way the Flatirons and the foreground worked together but I wasn’t sure whether the color was going to be deep enough. It wasn’t until I saw the image enlarged that I realized I had the deep purples I had been looking for. Sometimes more is less.
