Rim Road Around Volcano
This is a dirt road that runs around the rim of a dormant volcano. Interestingly, on the right was a beautiful slope down to a picturesque village on the sea. On the left was a fifteen hundred foot drop down to the volcano’s crater floor, filled with beautiful lakes and farmland. Great postcards, and that’s where everyone immediately went. Sure, I shot a few postcards, too. With a postcard, you look at everything and nothing at the same time. I even got a few good images of the crater. Then I noticed that the real graphically interesting element was the hill in the medium distance and the road we were standing on. I saw that the lines formed by the road and the clouds brought the eye right into the frame and the crunchy texture of the plants and the smoothness of the clouds made for a great contrast.
This image was done in the middle of the day, supposedly the worst time to shoot. Black and white concentrates on the shapes, textures and forms and can be manipulated tonally through a wide range of lighting. That’s one reason I love it.

How to understand print dimensions.Since all images don't have the same ratio, I express it as a range. When a size is quoted as 20x24/30, it means that the small dimension will be 20 inches and the long dimension will range from about 24 inches to 30 inches depending on the ratio of the image.
