“I think perfection is ugly.
Somewhere in the things humans make,
I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.”

― Yohji Yamamoto



New York City Skyline Photograph by Jim Richardson, National Geographic At times, the overall color of a scene can be so different from the way we normally see it that we hardly recognize the place. Seeing lush, green Central Park in a pink fog changes it completely in Jim Richardson’s stunning view, shot from a hotel window. —Annie Griffiths Photo Tip: Bad weather makes great pictures. It can also make the familiar completely new. So head out in that snowstorm and find ways to shoot in the rain. Celebrate fog and sandstorm and lightning. New pictures await under these conditions.
