So many days, so many images. If you were a photographer and were asked to choose your favorite picture amongst the hundreds or thousands you shot in 2013, which photo would you choose? That’s the challenge we gave to some of our favorite local photographers: pick a picture and tell us why it’s your favorite.
Today we hear from Stony Point resident George Potanovic, Jr.
Waiting for the Approaching Storm
My 12 year old daughter Allison was the subject of one of my favorite photos from 2013 while she was sitting on the Stony Point seawall observing the approaching stormy skies and weather patterns above the Hudson River in April at Haverstraw Bay. Allison loves science, especially weather, and dreams of someday becoming a storm-chaser. Despite my wife Joanne’s trepidation at the thought of Allison actually chasing tornadoes, we both totally encourage and are extremely inspired by her passion. This photograph captures that moment and emotion for me.
