Pictures Of Hurricanes
By now, most of us are aware of or somehow indirectly or directly involved with Hurricane Katrina . Or, most of us have seen pictures of hurricanes that blasted the East or Southeastern coasts that weren’t named Katrina. As contradictory as it sounds, many pictures of hurricanes, pictures of hurricanes’ aftermath, and aerial and other shots have been published or posted, pictures of hurricanes that are beautiful in an uncanny way but beautiful nonetheless—provocative, poignant, or perplexing as they are.
Accompanying the news and scientific technicalities and details at NASA’s site are pictures of hurricanes. (http://www.nasa.gov/vision/ earth/lookingatearth/hurricane_2005.html) They are the representations of these awesome phenomena, and yet they have an eerie beauty and majesty to them.
Individual pictures of hurricanes are as impressive as collections all over the web. For example, photo coverage of Hurricane Lili is featured online at (http://www.vivasancarlos.com/hurricane.html), depicting views photographed during Expedition Five.
In similar respect, I want to direct you to a site with pictures of hurricanes that, with all due reverence, have been creatively altered. Go to the site Worth1000.com (with which I have no affiliation, just appreciation for the brilliance of the artists), and do a search for pictures of hurricanes…or browse the Best of or Contest categories. At Worth1000, besides thousands of modified cars (two cars melded to create an awesome prototype), gender swap creations (a celebrity of one gender is modified to have the attributes of the opposite gender), Renaissance painting revisited (the artists change the faces and bodies of a classic piece of artwork, so that a movie stars face and body takes the place of the original), and many many more oddities, you will find categories of photo-shopped, modified, creative constructions that turn straight pictures of hurricanes into artful, sometimes clever, sometimes commemorative images.
One image wherein the artist uses pictures of hurricanes features a crumpled trailer as an artist’s rendering of the trailer contents. The one-dimensional switch is eerily apt in representing the devastating potency of hurricanes. In another Photoshopped vision, the artist makes use of the prompt tow work with the elements, and shows the shoreline 100 miles away from a hurricane. In yet another set of pictures of hurricanes, an artist shows before and after images—said by many viewers to be some of the most awesome pictures of hurricanes ever.
Again such photos of hurricanes, in this writer’s opinion, are not apathetic attempts at attacking, minimizing, or disregarding the responses and feelings of those left in a hurricane’s aftermath but are testaments to the near omnipotent magnificence of the hurricane as we unfortunately know it.
