Welcome to episode 3: Gray Skies Full of Color.
You look out the window in the morning and see wall to wall clouds, the world so drained of color you'd rather leave the blinds pulled down than look at it.
But every so often, it's shocking how colorful gray skies can be. Other than being dumbed-down by the digital process, this picture is accurate -- there was a rainbow throbbing in the clouds.
Finally, a reality TV show for the finely tuned aesthete.
The camera sits stationary for the full half hour. Nothing much happens for 15 minutes, then the parts snap into place for an instant, before 15 more minutes of nothing much.
As someone somewhere must once have said, "Through a single teardrop, seas ye can see."
The picture here is from episode 1: When Clouds Line Up with Trees. I thought about this shot (at McCarren Park) for weeks; when it finally presented itself, it was as hard to capture as a shy rhino.
