Quatrain #17: White Water

People ask on occasion if I'm still working on "that quatrain project," ...and well, yes I am… actually. Looking at the posting date of Quatrain #16 means that it's been two years, so looks like I'm on schedule. What I mean to emphasize is that the time frame is intentional and that relatively long spans of time are integral threads of the project's identity. It requires lots of time and hundreds of photographs to produce an adequate range of works to edit and select. This next set draws from just as many images that were produced for the first collection of sixteen.

January has proven to be the coldest and snowiest in recorded history around here. Interesting to see the timeliness of this posting, because of its inherent subject matter mostly, and because this was the type of weather statement frequently encountered via weather services. Maybe this can offer your sense of temperature some connection to the visuals, maybe not...
