About This Project

Carved by ancient Ice Age floods, Washington’s Lower Crab Creek Coulee presents a landscape where time, water, and silence converge. This unique terrain, part of the Channeled Scablands, offers a canvas of sculpted basalt formations and resilient flora.

In this series, I explore the coulee’s sculpted terrain through a black-and-white lens, offering a visual meditation on the land’s presence, time, and emotional texture.

  • This black-and-white photograph captures the flowing stillness of Crab Creek in Washington's Lower Crab Creek Coulee. Framed by windswept ridges and autumn vegetation, the scene embodies solitude—inviting quiet reflection through nature's gentle forms.
  • This black-and-white landscape photograph reveals the tranquil beauty of Burkett Lake, nestled against the imposing Saddle Mountains in Lower Crab Creek Coulee, Washington. The still waters reflect the terrain's gentle contours, while the surrounding flora's soft textures evoke a sense of calm. Each element harmonizes to create a moment of stillness, inviting a deeper connection to nature and mindfulness.

This collection traces soft ridgelines, reflective waters, wind-shaped grasses, and subtle signs of human passage—elements that invite contemplation and introspection.

Each image was created in response to the stillness of the coulee, balancing abstraction and form to reflect a grounded, contemplative experience in nature.
