From Dafydd Wood's essay on Mitch Dobrowner:

"Mitch Dobrowner's magnificent landscapes distance themselves from all other landscapes in photography and painting....What we find here is, first, an absolute, pantheistic celebration of the beauty of nature itself. Second and equally as important is the exaltation of the artist's eye, which creates beauty from the natural world and does not simply select it or frame it—creates it in the same way that the various geological forces like erosion crafted these idle works of such rough beauty....Dobrowner articulates the sublime in work created in awe to the vast expanses of space and time." #

"Dobrowner, an avid storm-chaser, has a number of photographs of austere and threatening clouds which likewise seem unreal....he has transformed the sky even more radically into a completely inhospitable, yet at the same time wondrous and beautiful, locale."

Mitch Dobrowner's vision has a technological aspect to it, but his use of technology has less to do with cameras and photographic processing than it does with how he finds his subjects. He goes into the explosive heart of storms with a technology that previously did not exist. What he shows us other people may have seen before, but they could easily have died in the process. Mitch takes those same risks, but with high tech tools. He has interlocked his aesthetic vision and the explorer's adventuresomeness with modern technology: with earth-observing weather satellites, the meteorological forecasts of the National Weather Service, brave and willing pilots, small airplanes, automobiles, and fearless guides. This combination of variables takes him to his subjects. By going where few would venture, he has brought back for us unseen visions, visions that rise to the level of the prophetic, visions that allow us to see some of Nature's previously hidden secrets.
