The story
The rainstorm was coming during this beautiful summer sunset. Bison unlike most animals walk towards the storm to get past it quicker. This beautiful female who is the same bison as “Tired Woman” posed and looked towards the storm as if she knew what she was about to face. This photo spoke to me in the moment and every time I look at it. I hear her thoughts, feel her nerves, understand her past, to then see the strength she has knowing she will face yet another storm but will get through it. In other words when I see Blue Sky Woman I see the meaning of what life is. Which to me is the greatness of photography to look at a piece of one moment and understand and feel an entire lifetime.
