Wandering with my Bronica
.
I can offer no attempt at context here beyond a freezing cold snowy walk and a moment which appealed to me on an aesthetic level and seemed to capture the atmosphere of that day and that place. For once the image which I saw on the focus screen actually translated how I hoped into the final image. There is something about the colour and sadness that appeals to me.. but it might just be me. I call it “dog on snowy ridge” 
I really do love this photograph! The colour palette is exceptional. Each tone on the dog, from his fur, to his whiskers, to his eyes and even his collar are mirrored with the limited tones of the backdrop. There isn’t a colour in either the dog nor the landscape that can’t be seen on the other. The bizarre synthesis of that moment really elevates it above ‘dog on snowy ridge’ for me.
