Fantastic architecture shot. I love the play with shadow, light and lines, which gives this a hypnotic touch. A photo which sucks me in.

The light here is absolutely amazing. In combination with the pose and expression of the model it creates a beautiful atmosphere and story.

(Talaina Fisher) | Psychoactive Dissimilation

Inspired by “A Scanner Darkly”, a movie which explores the affects of drug use and perceptions of ones self. The movie is based on a novel by Philip K. Dick which was grounded on his experiences in the 1970s drug culture.

beyond the sky beyond my mind beyond what is real there is this nagging feeling of nothingness and that everything is and was and its all so fleeting even geologically speaking

in bloom

a heart in bloom is a glorious thing for there is no song it cannot sing

there is sunshine in the rain no remembrance  of the breaking pain

for it has healed it loves once more it has something worth beating for

a heart in bloom is a glorious thing

before departure

a few people (usually at gas stations, noting my hail destroyed car) have asked, “why do you storm chase” and the only good answer I have is “why don’t you?” 

it’s true I’m not a classical storm chaser. I tend to entirely different areas of the storm than most do (the part that still has some light if possible) and really, I’m a photographer chasing a photo more than a storm chaser but I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to scream across the prairie after some monster so big and alive you can hardly take it all in (even at 15mm). the complexity, drama, violence and power make almost anything possible. I’ve seen things that took my breath away, and cowered in my car praying my glass would hold and that nothing terribly nasty was living in that shroud of rain that pinned me to where I was. 

I’ve wasted entire days on hope. 

I hope that storm can organize itself despite all the science saying it can’t. I hope I can get to this spot on the map before it does. I hope the light holds. or the road hasn’t heaved too bad this winter. 

every year i commit myself to only chase the big bad boys that have structure, and form, and the rare magic of a fully formed super cell and every year I find myself rolling across the gravel roads after some pulse storm that maybe, just maybe has something pretty in it. 

so entering year three of really learning and chasing more seriously my answer would be, why aren’t you out there, living and dying with the gust fronts and hail cores and living creatures sucking up the prairie moist. really. why?
