Low tide can make a familiar beach feel like a different landscape. I reflect on how exposed sand, shallow water, creeks, reflections, and changing tides shape the way I photograph the Washington coast in black and white.
A Pacific Northwest forest can feel peaceful in person and chaotic through a camera. I reflect on how fog, soft light, shadows, and careful framing help me find simplicity within the complexity.
Rain changes more than the surface of a landscape. Through three older black-and-white photographs, I reflect on how fog, water, and moisture change the way I see the Pacific Northwest.
Two of my black-and-white landscape photographs were selected for Natural Harmony at LightBox Photographic Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
After spending an evening and morning exploring Corral Pass, Washington, I came home with the beginnings of a black-and-white photography project. The Forest That Remains follows my experience of moving through a landscape shaped by the 2017 Norse Peak Fire.
Returning to familiar regions doesn’t mean making the same photographs. I reflect on how exploring familiar parts of the Pacific Northwest continues to reveal new landscapes, smaller scenes, and unexpected photographs.
While exploring an unnamed creek on the Olympic Peninsula, I worked from the larger landscape toward the movement of water and rock that became Heart of the Cascade.
I rarely head into the landscape with a photograph already planned. From Rocky Coulee to the Olympic Peninsula, curiosity and exploration often shape the photographs I make.
Before dawn on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, the Harvest Moon slowly disappeared behind mist and forest. Veiled Departure explores a fleeting moment between night and day, where soft light, drifting fog, and quiet stillness came together in a black-and-white photograph that reflects the peaceful transition from one day to the next.
