The Weight of Light

Sand folds into shadow. Stone rises above a crowd. Without color, light carries the differences between surfaces, distances, and bodies. These photographs remain part of the series from which they come.

A bleached, bending trunk stands among charred black snags beneath a grey sky, in black and white.

The Bend Continues I

Canadian Rockies, 2026

A pale trunk turns among the upright remnants of the forest. Read with the adjoining frame, its curve begins a movement that neither photograph contains alone.

Rounded caps of snow sit above a narrow dark stream.

Beneath the Soft Edges

Minnewaska, 2020

Snow rounds the stones along a dark stream. Water moves between their softened edges, carrying winter's shapes in its surface.

The Wind Leaves a Shape

Dune, shadow, and footprint repeat a movement at different scales. Across three photographs, the wind's broad forms make room for a brief human passage.

A dark ridge curves through pale sand dunes beneath scattered clouds, in black and white.

I

Great Sand Dunes, 2019

Shadow follows the curve of a dune. Fine ripples cross the foreground, repeating its larger movement at the scale of a footstep.

Monochrome dune ridges overlap beneath a few soft clouds.

II

Great Sand Dunes, 2019

Bright ridges fold into dark hollows beneath broken cloud. Across the dunes, the eye follows one crest into another.

Footprints diminish along a steep dune toward two distant walkers.

III

Great Sand Dunes, 2019

Footprints climb toward a small figure on the ridge. A human passage briefly joins the longer work of the wind.

A black-and-white panorama shows serrated mountain ridges above dark forest.

Beyond the First Ridge

Kings Canyon, 2019

Pale granite rises above dark forest. Each ridge opens onto another, carrying the eye beyond the first horizon.

A road and a distant vehicle pass a solitary rock tower in monochrome.

A Road Through the Long View

Utah, 2019

A car follows the road past a rock tower. Telephone poles mark out the distance in small, repeated intervals.

Weathered antlers and skulls rise from moss beneath horizontal cloud bands, in black and white.

Branches of Another Life

Alaska, 2016

Weathered antlers rise from the moss beneath bands of cloud. Their branching forms return the eye to the sky.
