Rick McGinnis: ‘Perhaps that’s what I was doing when I began taking my cloud pictures…’

and trying to devise ways of putting clouds and sky behind and above my subjects. It was a difficult time in my life; both my parents had died and I was often overwhelmed with feelings of loneliness; some real faith would have provided solace, but I had to take what I could get, and if that meant peering through the constantly shifting curtain of clouds, trying to discern some meaning or purpose, I can only say that there’s always a lifeline available for anyone, even if they can’t see it.
