Still Moving

From the Peaks, Downward

Morning touches the peaks above a lake. A gorge draws the view into stone, and white water passes a wooded island. The three photographs carry attention from distant height toward the force close at hand.

A river runs between close rock walls toward forest and distant peaks.

The Mountain Opens

Canadian Rockies, 2026

A river cuts between layered walls of rock. Beyond the narrow passage, forest and distant peaks open into weather.

Water divides around a tree-covered island and converges above a foreground waterfall.

Where the Trees Remain

Canadian Rockies, 2026

Water spills around a wooded island and over the dark ledges below. The trees gather in the middle of a movement that continues past them.

A Mountain in Three Passages

A small canoe moves through three views of mountain and lake. Each frame redistributes the weight of stone, forest, and reflection around that slight human presence.

Canadian Rockies, 2026

The mountain rises from the lake; a small canoe gives the distance a human scale. This first passage opens the relation between shore, water, and height.

II

Canadian Rockies, 2026

The mountain enters the water again. In this second passage, its reflection draws the eye below the shoreline.

III

Canadian Rockies, 2026

Rock and reflected rock share the lake. The third passage returns to the mountain through the surface that carries it.

Eyes of the Current

Canadian Rockies, 2026

Two pools look out from the dark rock while white water runs above them. For a moment, the river seems to have a face.

The River Finds a Way

Water enters the gorge as a pale line and gathers beneath an opening in the rock. These two views follow the current through places that narrow its passage.

A Light Between Walls

Canadian Rockies, 2026

Pale turquoise water enters the shadow of the gorge. Branches lean across the opening, and the river carries the light farther in.

White streaks of water converge inside a dark stone opening.

Under the Stone

Canadian Rockies, 2026

Through an opening in the rock, the current gathers into white folds. The stone gives its force a narrow place to pass.

What Autumn Lets Go

Leaves loosen from the trees and gather with lily pads on dark water. Across two views, the season forms a new arrangement close to the surface.

Colored leaves and fine stems form loose clusters on dark water.

Harriman, 2022

Red and gold leaves gather among lily pads on dark water. The season drifts free of the branches that once held it.

II

Harriman, 2026

Leaves settle into another arrangement on the lake. Autumn continues at the surface, in the spaces between one floating shape and the next.

A Place for the Evening

Mohonk, 2024

A pavilion stands beside the lake at twilight. The shore gathers around this small place from which to look outward.

Autumn leaves dissolving into ripples on dark water.

Immersive

Mohonk, 2024

Autumn leaves dissolve in the ripples, color loosening into the water until the surface turns with them.

A Room Across the Water

Adirondacks, 2021

A small cabin stands on the far shore. The lake carries it closer as a reflection, keeping the distance intact.

A waterfall drops over layered rock into an ice-covered pool surrounded by snow.

What Winter Leaves Moving

Minnewaska, 2021

Ice gathers into columns beside the falls. Through the frozen shapes, a thread of water continues downward.

A Clearing Made of Water

Delaware Water Gap, 2020

Water descends through ledges covered in fallen leaves. Its pale course opens a passage through the colors of the forest floor.

Twisted driftwood and its reflection cross an orange band on a still lake.

The Tree Returns as Water

Minnewaska, 2020

Fallen wood lies against its reflection. Beyond it, a narrow band of autumn crosses the lake, joining the near branches to the distant shore.

A green foreground rock echoes a distant tree-topped island across wet sand.

Between Two Islands I

Olympic, 2018

A green boulder stands near the water; farther out, a wooded sea stack enters the fog. The space between them becomes part of their resemblance.

The River Writes Downward

The falls and the winding river belong to one descent. Across two views, blue water gives the pale canyon a continuous line to follow.

Yellowstone, 2018

The falls enter a narrow canyon. White water marks the beginning of a passage through the enclosing stone.

Blue water winds between steep pale canyon walls.

Yellowstone, 2017

A blue river winds between pale canyon walls. Seen from above, its narrow course carries the depth of the land.
