Impact

Origin (Arizona Impact 5), 2007, photographed by Stan Gaz from his Impact Series.
During his youth, photographer Stan Gaz was facinated by the notion of meteorites. Thus, he recently began to photograph meteorite impact structures and their surrounding landscapes. Many of these locations are sacred to various tribal communities and have a variety of stories and beliefs attributed to them. Although many versions exist, most relate to the notion of the craters possessing secrets of mankind’s origin.
An opening reception for Stan Gaz: Impact will be held on Thursday, April 30, from 6–8pm, at ClampArt in New York City, the exhibit runs through June 6.

I have been there. I have seen many photos of this damn thing. This is the 1st photo that even comes close to capturing the awe, the sheer power. All I can say is, “Holy Crap”!
Great.

AWESOME! Does not get any better than that. It looks like the meteor just missed hitting the interpretive center – close call!! Wah wah yes that was a joke.
