River Styx
The day I took River Styx, the lighting was much harsher, yielding strong red hues along the banks of this small stream.
Mythical Memory
When shooting Mythical Memory, I wanted to create something magical and surreal, to send viewers over the horizon. To achieve this, I had my subject wear a unicorn mask and bright robes. To create this dreamscape, I utilized 550nm infrared filter and tweaked the lighting to give off a sweet pink atmosphere.
Castle and Heather
Eilean Donan Castle, nestled into lush heather and set against the misty Coille na Totaig, shows a more playful version of ‘dark and stormy’.
Dandelion Anatomy
A common, familiar weed resembles an array of alien limbs, or possibly a bouquet of sparklers. [Note to judges: Apologies if I’ve miscategorized this image. I wasn’t quite sure where it belonged.]
Shadows Long Past
Shadows Long Past was taken in IR Chrome, mimicking Kodak Aerochrome from the 1940’s, and alludes to the transience of time. It utilizes shadows to impart feelings of longing and sorrow in a woefully different light.
Clematis Poof
A clematis seed, when dried, transforms into a festive puffball.
Radiant City
Transitioning from summer to fall, the cityscapes never cease to radiate their unique energy.
Lily
Lily, my dear friend. I see you only a few times a year, but your radiant beauty always fascinates me.
California Buckeye
A short trek up a steep hill rewards us with a California Buckeye in full bloom.
Hollowed Ground
Taken in IR Chrome, this photo depicts the transience of time. Taken on the Evergreen Estate in Baltimore MD.
Strawberry Mochi
The hills are alive just north of San Francisco…and I can’t remember where I parked the car.
Dawn of Everything
Rhe winter light embraces the leaves and shows the enduring life in the mountains.
