EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Joshua Lott, we witness the sheer power and beauty of nature as motorists navigate through a dust storm on Arizona State Highway 51 in Phoenix. The image transports us to July 5,2011, when the city was engulfed in an otherworldly haze caused by strong winds gusting at nearly 40 miles per hour. As we peer into the frame, our eyes strain to penetrate the dense cloud of dust that has reduced visibility to zero in some areas. The backlit scene adds an ethereal quality to the photograph, with faint outlines of cars emerging from the indistinct surroundings. It is a testament to human resilience and determination as these drivers forge ahead despite challenging conditions. The creative use of lighting highlights not only the intensity of this natural phenomenon but also its impact on our environment. Nature's raw power is palpable as it blankets everything in its path - roads, vehicles, and even distant landscapes fade into obscurity. This mesmerizing snapshot serves as a reminder of how small we are compared to Mother Nature's might. It invites contemplation about our place within her vast tapestry and encourages us to marvel at her ever-changing moods – be it foggy mornings or thunderous storms like this one. Joshua Lott's skillful composition captures both chaos and serenity simultaneously; it freezes a fleeting moment forever etched in time for all who behold it.
