The sky here is monotone, and was recently dumping snow…lots.

This post reminds me strongly of Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto and his Seascape series. His idea was to capture an image that has been a part of the human psyche since time immemorial. Stark, subtle, and arresting images.

See images on his website: http://www.sugimotohiroshi.com/seascape.html

An overview of his conceptual concerns here: http://www.whitecube.com/exhibitions/seascapes/

And a youtube video of his concern with the craft of photography here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxqvmVhjSC4&feature=player_embedded

Enjoy,
