FOUR STRONG WINDS
In addition to being inspired by landscapes that I photograph, I have favorite song titles and lyrics that influence my direction. Sometimes I don’t name a work until it’s finished and then I let it speak its name to me and that was the case with this one. As I spent time immersed in the finished scene of the Oregon coast, the song “Four Strong Winds” kept popping into my head so I knew that was what it wanted to be.
“Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don’t change
Come what may.” (With permission of Ian Tyson)
