I live near Seattle, Washington and one of the things I love the most about my home is the rain. I love the smell, the sound and the way it makes everything seem clean and fresh. I love how it feels like the world is taking a quiet, little break. I love that the plants and trees seem more vibrant and alive. I love the cozy feeling of wearing a sweater or jacket in the crisp, cool air.
I also love the way it affects color. I’m always inspired when it rains. I love the swirling shades of grey in the cloud-covered sky. The clouds filter the sun and bathe everything in a soft, mysterious, blue-grey light. The clouds and water darken everything, giving colors more depth, intensity, richness and saturation. I started GDF in 2010 to try to capture that beauty and my love for nature, the rain, and Seattle.
