Sand Hill Road 1999 - Original First Print of First Run by thealejandro

Description: Limited Edition First Print of "Sand Hill Rd 1999" – 20cm x 15cm, Framed Photographic Art (1999, 35mm Film) Experience the raw power of nature with this limited-edition first print of "Sand Hill Rd 1999". Captured during a massive lightning storm over Palo Alto, California, this 20cm x 15cm print encapsulates a moment of pure chance and photographic skill. Positioned from Woodside, the image captures the intersection of the famous Sand Hill Road and Highway 280, with a bolt of lightning striking at the heart of the scene. The glowing light trails from cars on the highway juxtaposed against the dark storm clouds add a dramatic contrast to the composition. The lighting spark also suggests the wonders being brewed in the heart of Sillicon Valley. You can see with a dim blue glow the Hoover Tower from Stanford University, representing an iconic landmark for Sillicon Valley technological history. Shot using a long-exposure technique, this photograph is the product of hours spent shooting 6 to 8 rolls of film in a trance-like state as the storm raged. The central placement of the lightning bolt, framed by the silhouettes of trees, creates an image that feels both deliberate and spontaneous—an unrepeatable work of art. This print, part of a limited first edition (1 of 10), is being offered for auction for the first time since its creation.
