In the Beginning...

Occasionally I revisit older pictures to see if my opinion has changed over time. On this March morning the rocks of Stoney Point were coated in glare ice. I used a 5 minute exposure to reveal movement in the sky and soften the water.
I imagined a view of primordial earth when I took the picture, but in color the feeling was lost. Yesterday, I decided to convert it to monochrome. With the color stripped away, I think it better expresses my imaginings of seeing a place as though nothing has lived there yet.
