Barren
Manzanar Historical Monument, California, October 2006


The Manzanar landscape can be bleak and univiting and beautiful. It is rare for me to present an image in black and white. In this case I felt as if the lack of color helped to evoke the mood of the place. If you look closely you will see the shrine in the mid-ground that is shown more closely in other images in this gallery.

You've made "barren" something that looks elegant. I love the choice you've made to go black and white here, adding further visual drama.
