They say a picture is worth a thousand words. For me, this is almost always true. Behind each image I capture, there is so much thought that led me to that exact moment. So many questions to be asked. When will I take the image? When does the sun set? How long will I need to climb up? What gear should I wear? When will the weather be just right? Then comes the actual journey itself. The packing up, the gearing up and the trek. This time it was short and very steep. Only the sounds were of foot steps and of heavy breathing and that is all. I had to stop alongside tree after tree to prop myself up for a moment and catch my breath. I had a chill when I began, but now the perspiration was beginning to cover my forehead. After finally reaching the top, I quickly began unpacking my gear as I was still grasping for air. I had misread the cloud cover and I was about to miss any chance I had of capturing the setting sun. Panting, sweaty, and a little dizzy, I set up my camera. I focused hard on my footing, as to not misstep. As my lungs began to catch up and my eyes began to focus, I felt the ground firmly beneath my feet and then everything disappeared around me. The clicking of the shutter and the slight breeze rolling over the valley were the only sounds I could hear. In my case there’s probably a thousand words that go into taking a picture, but when the subject is something as beautiful as the Schoharie Valley, there are always thousands more.
