23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Sky on Canvas In Joshua Tree Reflects Bright Blue Cloudy Sky
A mirror on an easel reflects a sky full of clouds, set against massive desert rocks. The image turns the sky into a painting, blurring the boundary between reflection, landscape, and art. The fleeting moment of the easel's reflection and the juxtaposition of the rock's years of life create tension in the photograph and its message.
