IOWA SPRING

The images of Iowa Spring were shot in 1998 as a way of reclaiming my sanity. As a Texan living in the Northern Plains, I was in no way prepared for the brutality of the winter weather. I didn't even own a heavy coat before moving there; I rarely needed more than a jacket in Houston. The first snow in Iowa appeared around Halloween; the last was around Easter. And, during much of the winter, the perpetual overcast skies cast a grey pallor over the entire landscape that was exacerbated by a dense fog when things began to thaw. It was very much like being stuck inside a deep-freeze with the lid shut for five months a year. What I found on the other side of this surprised me--color, all but forgotten in the previous season, returned with a vengence. Although spring is brief in Iowa, its display must be one of the most spectacular to be found in nature. Iowa Spring is an homage to this rebirth, renewal, rejuvenation of color and life in the Northern Plains. All images are 7 by 7 inch C-prints that are printed on 8 by 10 Fuji Crystal Archive paper.
