Grand Visions
Edward WestonLast year in Montserrat (which sounds like the title of a movie), I rode the funicular up the vertical railway and climbed the paths up the mountains. I was faced with such grand scenery those two master photographers, Ansel Adams and Edward Weston instantly came to mind.
Ansel AdamsNature photographs can sometimes seem boring in their ubiquity. However, this pair of photographers had such an instinctive eye for composition; creating images of stark beauty and authority they cannot fail to bring us face to face with the imposing power of their craggy mountains, perilous deserts and fierce sunshine.
In that blinding Catalan sunshine, surrounded by the razor teeth of Montserrat, I could not help but to be inspired by these masters.
