EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Brian Snyder, a mesmerizing rainbow arcs over the road in coal country in Berwind, West Virginia. The image serves as a powerful symbol of hope and resilience amidst the ongoing battle against black-lung disease. As disease rates surge, the coal lobby fights against imposing taxes to combat this debilitating illness. The juxtaposition of the vibrant rainbow against the somber backdrop of coal country creates a striking visual contrast. The colorful spectrum stands out vividly against the muted tones of greenery and sky, emphasizing its beauty and significance. With no people present in the frame, nature takes center stage, showcasing its own remarkable power. This photograph not only captures a natural phenomenon but also represents an urgent call to action for environmental preservation. The copy space surrounding the image allows viewers to reflect on their role in protecting our planet's fragile ecosystems. Through his creative use of perspective and atmospheric lighting, Snyder has managed to capture both the picturesque scenery and underlying message within a single frame. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, there is still beauty to be found in nature – reminding us all that we must strive towards creating sustainable environments for future generations.
