EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stark contrast between agricultural farm land and the surrounding desert in the Imperial Valley near El Centro, California. Taken on May 31,2015, during one of California's worst droughts on record, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by farmers in this arid region. From an aerial perspective, we witness a creative composition that showcases the vibrant colors of the cultivated fields against the barren backdrop of sand dunes. The geometrical patterns formed by neatly arranged crops create an eye-catching visual effect. This square-shaped photograph emphasizes the sharp divide between fertile farmland and harsh desert terrain. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on nature's contrasting elements at play here: agriculture versus wilderness. The picturesque scene is framed with a border that enhances its artistic appeal while highlighting both sides' distinct characteristics. As we contemplate this image, it prompts reflection on our environment and weather patterns. It reminds us of humanity's ingenuity in harnessing limited resources to sustain life amidst challenging conditions. Moreover, it serves as a testament to farmers' resilience and adaptability in cultivating these lands despite facing severe water scarcity. Mike Blake skillfully captured this unique landscape using his creative vision and expertise behind the lens. Through his lens, he brings attention to both beauty and adversity coexisting harmoniously within our world—a truly remarkable portrayal of human interaction with nature.
