Before The Storm On Convict Lake
This fine art black-and-white photograph captures a fleeting yet powerful moment on Convict Lake in the Eastern Sierra during springtime. A single fishing boat floats in still water, dwarfed by the massive, glacially-carved granite peaks and threatened by a brewing storm to the west. Taken on a Mamiya 645 medium format camera using Ilford HP5+ film, the image emphasizes contrast and depth—light falling on the steep mountain face while clouds coil like smoke above. The photograph speaks to solitude in the face of nature’s scale and unpredictability, evoking both serenity and suspense in one frame.
