EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Gene Blevins, the night sky over Plainview, Texas is illuminated by a spectacular display of lightning. The photograph was taken on late May 6,2008, as severe storms and potential tornadoes loomed in the forecast for the upcoming days. The image captures nature's raw power as bolts of lightning streak across the darkened heavens, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle. The vibrant flashes cut through the black canvas above, momentarily transforming it into a mesmerizing tapestry of light and energy. Blevins' skillful composition allows us to witness this extraordinary phenomenon from a unique perspective. Each bolt seems to dance across the sky with an electrifying intensity that leaves viewers both awestruck and humbled by its sheer force. As we gaze upon this striking scene, we are reminded of our own insignificance in comparison to Mother Nature's might. It serves as a reminder that despite our technological advancements and modern comforts, we are still at her mercy when faced with such natural wonders. This photograph not only captures a fleeting moment but also evokes emotions within us - excitement mingled with trepidation; wonder mixed with respect for nature's unpredictable beauty. It stands as a testament to Gene Blevins' ability to freeze time and immortalize these ephemeral moments of grandeur forever in print.
