the promise for tomorrow by admin

Here's another one I've wanted to shoot for months. I'd hoped to one day capture this photo with extreme highlights and shadows from the afternoon sun. Today's overcast and diffused winter light added a 

solemnness while the delicate snow countered the ruggedness of the abandoned.

I've wanted to photograph this setting for months. I drive past it a few times everyday. I've always thought if I could catch the right light, it could be a really nice shoot. Today as I drove home from church, the setting welcomed me once again. The afternoon light was perfect. With my camera sitting beside me, I realized that today was the day I'd been waiting for.

During the months of wanting to shoot here, I never imagined I'd be doing so while wearing a suit and a tie, not to mention on a day when the wind chill was nearing 20 degrees. Lesson learned. Be prepared for the moment.
