Message
“This photo was taken in western South Dakota near the Wyoming border. God has created so much beauty in this world, and I try to capture it the best I can. I love the sky, and he paints it so beautifully, I have a lot of photos that capture it, but many times, I just sit and stare at it. I don’t always photograph things I am seeing because sometimes, it just doesn’t need to be photographed, it is better as a personal memory. My favorite thing to do is to photograph thunderstorms. Weather has always fascinated me.”
