Drifting

Drifting captures an extraordinary gathering of American white pelicans, their brilliant white plumage and vivid orange bills creating a striking composition of color, repetition, and form. Resting closely together on the water, the birds appear almost woven into one another, their graceful shapes reflected in the soft blues and golds beneath them.

Gary Crandall's intimate composition transforms this gathering into a remarkable study of natural pattern. Overlapping feathers, sweeping bills, and subtle variations in posture create a visual rhythm that feels both lively and serene. The close perspective allows the beauty of each bird to emerge within the larger congregation.

The Great Salt Lake supports one of the American West's important breeding populations of white pelicans, whose future is closely tied to the health of the surrounding lake and wetlands. Drifting celebrates their remarkable beauty while offering a quiet reminder of the natural places that sustain them.
