There is a kind of zen simplicity to the fractal venation of this dormant Black Oak branch. Accentuated by snow, it swaddles the huge boulder behind in mothering embrace. There is no direct light anywhere in the scene and it was snowing quite heavily at the time. For years, the empowering clarity of this print greeted me each time I exited the soft yellow glow of my darkroom.
