"a series of especially violent thunderstorms preceded this photo. suddenly, it seemed to be over, & this cloud formed as if by some sort of divine intervention. many cities have houses of worship, but for me, nothing compares to witnessing something awe-inspiring in the natural world, that is beyond understanding. i named this photo god descending**for that reason."--joseph corrado.

"i am transfixed when i encounter an intimate setting like this. it is a portrait of those who are long gone & yet, still, very present. as i poke around the fading edges of a once-lived existence, it feels almost wrong, like a violation of privacy..like going through someone's belongings. there's a real edge to this kind of intimacy. &, yet, i have profound respect for them, & i feel perfectly comfortable doing this, even as every sense tingles. it ineluctably makes one all the more aware of how transitory our lives are. this is us tomorrow. live now. love now."--peter ralston
