Described as North America\u2019s characteristic landscape, a prairie landscape&nbsp;has been likened to the ocean in its immensity, multiplicity, endless variety, and contemplative moods. Concurrently I started a series of photographs of the wind,&nbsp;fascinated by the wind\u2019s power and the way it moves and animates the natural world. Both series explore the particularities of a specific place, from its native plants, weather conditions, to seasonal patterns.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/spring%203.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/winter%202.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.routledge.com\/reframingphotography\/files\/user\/wind1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jin Lee, from<em>&nbsp;lake effect<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Made in areas around Lake Michigan,<\/em>&nbsp;<strong>Lake Effect<\/strong>&nbsp;<em>&nbsp;series examines various effects of the presence of a large body of water, from gray clouds that cover the sky in winter, to piles of salt gathered to combat lake effect snow.
