Pompkin (by DoggieDoc83)
a selection of photographs from camille seaman’s series “the big cloud,” in which she spent six storm seasons - from may 2008 to june 2014 - traveling throughout tornado alley. as she explains in her ted talk:
“everything is interconnected. as a shinnecock indian, i was raised to know this. when i was a little girl, my grandfather took me to sit outside in the sun on a hot summer day. there were no clouds in the sky. and after a while i began to perspire. and he pointed up to the sky, and he said, ‘look, do you see that? that’s part of you up there. that’s your water that helps to make the cloud that becomes the rain that feeds the plants that feeds the animals.
“when i’m photographing [clouds], i cannot help but remember my grandfather’s lesson. as i stand under them, i see not just a cloud, but understand that what i have the privilege to witness is the same forces, the same process in a small scale version that helped to create our galaxy, our solar system, our sun and even this very planet.”
