The image above is from Crater Lake, Oregon which will feature in this year’s Housing Works Design on a Dime Benefit.  I am honored to have been included in the group of artists and designers who have come together to support this very important organization in New York City.

To get this shot, I got lucky with the stormy day but had to wait for the right moment when the sun peeked through the clouds for just a bit and cast light on the areas of the scene I wanted to highlight.  I was particularly drawn to the way the road and the tiny parking lot where I hiked up from had now become part of this altered landscape, straddling a narrow ridge against the massive backdrop of the surrounding Crater Lake, the deepest lake in the US and created by volcanic activity over 7700 years ago.
