A Storm Chaser’s Unforgiving View of the Sky

We are changing the face of the sky. And we are altering its mood; scientists hesitate to link specific storms to global warming, but it’s clear that, on the whole, climate change is making extreme-weather events more powerful and, perhaps, more common. When we look up, increasingly the face we see is ours. In the photographer Camille Seaman’s cloudscapes, it’s difficult to not also see humankind’s self-portrait: potent, defiant, unforgiving. Clouds always tell a true story, Ralph Abercromby said, and more than ever the story they tell is the story of ourselves. Where that story will take us is difficult to read.

Bruno Mars won Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year at the Grammys tonight. He can be something of an inscrutable public figure, which is not to say he is obscure—simply that it’s difficult, sometimes, to figure out the precise shape of his interiority. He sometimes winces as he dances, screwing his face into a kind of elegant grimace. It’s as if he can’t quite believe how excellent it all is.
