Growing up in a rural part of the country that my family had resided in for generations, I was raised on certain regional truisms. We were taught that it was a sign of an impending storm when you could see the underside of the leaves, better known as "the light side." Though often accurate, what interested me more than its meteorological predictability is the feeling of excitement that this visual phenomenon continues to illicit for me, even into adulthood. In an ongoing series of photographs I attempt to document this truism in action.
