“Early one evening, after a snowfall, the statue was brought to
my attention because of how high the snow was piled atop its back. My intention was to immediately get my camera and capture the eagle with snow on it. Alas, it was gone. Since I was already equipped to take photos, I decided, why not? It’s such a beautiful day! I wanted the eagle to look as though it was actually soaring. The angle at which the eagle was sculpted allowed me to get right under it and capture the sky in the background. I tried to think of a way to include the unique shape of curve between the eagle and the water below it.”—Krystal
