​​I have always been fascinated by weather, storms, and the havoc they continue to wreak on the human race - despite our best efforts to protect ourselves.  Spinning in the sink is a satellite photo of Hurricane Guillermo (aptly named as it is William in Spanish), the most ferocious tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Eastern Pacific.  Guillermo formed during a strong El Niño cycle, a phenomenon caused by abnormally warm ocean currents, and proceeded to level towns, kill people by the thousands, and yet send a beautiful swell to Southern California enjoyed by tens of thousands of surfers.  How ironic.  I put little Guillermo in the sink (which I photographed at my parents’ house), added some Native American Petroglyphs (one which oddly resembles a hurricane), and replaced the mirror with a stormy sky I had photographed the previous winter.
