Nature: Honorable Mention 2020 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
A granary (grain storage structure) created by the ancestral puebloan people of the greater southwestern United States. I photograph these sites extensively and lean towards creating compositions based on intrinsic movement and the balance between the geometry of the built structure and the natural poetic flow of the surrounding landscape.
