Throwback Thursday: Little Butano Creek

August 27, 2015

From about a decade ago. I often tell the story of how several long trips to photograph a particular area of redwoods, on consecutive days failed from changing weather, and how that eventually led to my series Signatures of the Sun, and my first gallery show.

What I rarely bother to mention is that I eventually got the shot I wanted, on yet another trip. I like the curved line of the water, how wet the environment is, and the vibrant Velvia greens.

I wandered by this spot in the last week or two, while scouting for a recent photography workshop, and noticed that this image is no longer there for the taking, a short cliff to the left of the scene has collapsed into the rock bottom left. Never count on being able to retake an image "when you have more time", or "when the light is better", if the scene is already good, shoot now, and then, if you do get the chance to reshoot later (as I did here), you can do that too.
