photo-eye Gallery is excited to present a new image by Mitch Dobrowner, Storm over Sierra Nevada.
By waiting for the light and atmosphere to paint the landscape to his liking — accented by his custom-modified camera and long hours in the digital darkroom — Dobrowner has developed a poetic style in the tradition of photography masters such as Ansel Adams and Minor White.
Mitch Dobrowner reflects on his Sierra Nevada work:
John Muir once wrote "this grand show is eternal".I first went into the Eastern Sierra Nevada in the winter of 1981; it was then that I realized that its otherworldly, intimate and intense beauty had been calling me my entire life.The Sierra Nevada has always represented my belief in the exemplary value of the Earth and its extraordinary landscapes.... landscapes that define the shape and meaning of life.Like any photograph this image is an attempt to convey the experiences and the moods derived from my close association with this region, if only because the Sierra Nevada has helped me define the shape and meaning of my life.Crowned with bald rocks and everlasting cold,That melts not underneath the sun's fierce glance,Peak above peak, fixed, dazzling, ice and stones.- Kate Seymour Maclean (1829-1916)My hope is that mankind learns to humble itself and respect these vast, beautiful, wild places.
— Mitch Dobrowner
And, to coincide with the presentation of Dobrowner's new work, we would also like to share one of our favorite images from the flat files by this outstanding artist.
Working with professional storm chasers since 2009, Dobrowner has traveled throughout America to capture extreme weather and landscapes, making stunning images of tornados and supercell storms like Helix and Trees. See below!
