My
Line of Sight
Earth,
Wind and Fire From one that has been there.
For many years I have thought of myself as a facilitator. I
bring people together to explore their world, to share their views and to find
out what makes them tick. I suppose the medium I was most successful at
accomplishing this task would be the countless number of interviews I’ve done
on radio.
Now that I’m no longer involved in radio broadcasting, I’m enjoying time with My Line of Sight, my blog site, where I can introduce you to a few of my friends..
Today I want to introduce you to Jody
Miller, professional photographer. Jody has taken thousands of shots all over
the world. Her work has been on display in galleries and she has published a
book, “Heartbeat of Astoria Columbia Café”, and she is a friend of mine.
I asked Jody if she would choose a photo from her
collection that best represented the subject of Earth, Wind and Fire, then
write what it meant to her.
Earth, Wind and Fire:
“The storms of middle America are legend. The tornadoes of Kansas rank high in many minds as one of their first fears, as seen on “The Wizard of Oz”. My hope was to witness some of Nature’s fury and chase these supercells around the center of the country, and I did that, for five years. I never saw Dorothy’s tornado, at least not yet. But I did lay eyes on some of the most surreal and awe-inspiring storms I could ever imagine. This is one taken in Roswell, New Mexico in 2014. In this photograph you can feel the power it exudes.”
I had to ask Jody about being a storm chaser, wanting to
know why, and this is what she had to say:
“Their sheer beauty! Once I saw great supercell
storms, I was hooked! When you see them up close and personal, you can't
believe what you are seeing. They don't even look real. And their power is
overwhelming; you feel like a very small being in front of all that energy.”

the photographer - and often the supreme disappointment”. Ansel Adams
