Inspiration for photographs

The wind woke me up this morning. It was blowing past the window so strongly, that I thought it was going to rip the frame out. The longer I listened, the more I thought about how to capture that energy in a photograph. You can't film wind. You can only film its effects. Wind seems a very violent element. It is always tearing things - up, off, apart. It is always causing stress with living things - bending plants and trees, making people and animals lean over or huddle up. In spite of the violence, there never seems to be any malevolence in it. I don't know if that makes it better or worse. Thinking about how to capture wind in a photograph, makes one think of lots of different things to try.
