Intimate Landscapes

Ripples of Life

The ripples of a foxtail pine from branches that feel off 1000's of years ago.

Wound

The tightly wound heart of a California succulent brings forth repeating patterns and interesting lines.

This way. No this way.

The lines of the Oceano dunes.

Fallen

Held in place by the bigger parts of life that lie below us.

Fizzle

The fizzle deep within the ice is a mix of methane and oxygen bubbles.

Protected

The old growth Ponderosa Pines of the High Sierra have grown layers upon layers of bark to protect themselves from insects and fire.

Refracted & Reflected

Refracted and reflected light in Cottonwood Lakes above 11,000 feet as the granite light reflects and refracts through the high mountain lake.

Primordial

Primordial colors of volcanic ponds in Yellowstone NP.

Heart of Stone

Flowers reaching for the light and finding their way out of the rocks along the Sierra High Route.

Deep Stories

The wisdom and stories in the bark of the pine deep within a remote canyon in Utah.

Reliance

Between life and death there is a reliance between these two of the old and the new.

Scraped

Scraped and scratched. The amazing textures of a costal tree.

Just a little

All water needs is a little crack to begin to form a channel and deepen a way to flow through the landscape.

High Sand

At over 11,000 feet in the Sierra we find a beach with some curvature and intrigue.

Aspen Mosiac

Aspen leaves floating on the river along Cottonwood Creek forming an interesting melange of color.

Painted Time

Deep in the canyons of Utah we find painted time among the mud.

Foam Party

In certain storms along the coast there is not enough time between wave sets for the sea foam to return to the ocean and it then gets whipped into a froth. As the waves crash in and recede the unpredictability of how the foam will form becomes more interesting.

Fire Wood

A bristlecone pine root, exposed to natures elements begins to flow and take on different forms. Far beyond the way we usually envision.

Sinew Blanco

The algae high in the Chilean mountains outside of Tatio Geyser brings about a feeling of sinew and tendons holding parts of the world together.

Mini Mountains

Mini mountains of deep snow cups in the High Sierra of California form their own mountains.

Interlinked

The interlinked Aspen trees of Colorado as they lean upon each other and each find their own paths.

Dragon Scales

The scales of a Ponderosa pine evoke the feeling of dragon scales as they work to protect the tree itself.

Secondary Beauty

Reflected light showcases the glowing beauty and stark trunks of the Aspen.
