Finale, Cave of the Winds, Niagara Falls, New York, 2015

The Cave of the Winds is actually a series of staircases and platforms at the base of Bridal Veil Falls. In this image, a visitor is pummeled by a torrent of water exploding upon the rocks behind him. The yellow poncho and the rich moss upon the rocks offer a counter point to monochromatic boulders and flying water. It is very difficult to make photographs here – the mist soaks camera and lens instantly, making any image hazy. In this case, however, the slight haze on my lens helps to abstract the scene and thereby intensify the meaning of the picture.
