Member Projects

  • Figures, Gates, and Open Sky - The view moves from a courthouse facade to a backlit abstract figure and finally toward a gate opening into grass.
  • Rows Beneath Autumn Leaves - The project contrasts vegetation and seasonal color with a metal gate, low walls, grave markers, and the repeated geometry of a landscaped burial ground.
  • Between the Carved Towers - The gateway remains fixed while the sequence shows visitors below it, one person before the steps, two front-facing stances, extended arms, and a final rear view.
  • Blur, Stone Forms, Open Water - The edit contrasts densely layered human figures with increasingly spacious views of dark structures, foliage, water, exposed rock, and one small primate.
  • Curves, Canopy, Cloud - A study of changing scale in which pale architectural curves, a single person, gray sky, forested ridges, and a broad mountain give way to blurred vegetation.
  • Loosies - Eight frames move from carved and cast figures to living passersby and back to pure light: a relief figure in shadow, a tilted plaza, silhouetted towers before a low sun, a portrait before a pale colonnade, carved...
  • Night Street Photos - A short sequence that opens with two night street scenes, a building of stacked lanterns and signs and a lantern-lit dining alley, then moves to a graffiti-covered wall and ends on a close view of a neon drawing.
  • Night Walk Near Shibuya - A night sequence moving from a lit street corner up an elevated walkway's stacked signage, into blurred and overpass views of the street, then upward to clouds, a high-rise, and a closing neon tiger.
  • A Street Roll Around a Lattice Tower - A sequence of street photographs unified by a recurring red-and-white lattice tower glimpsed from different vantage points, framed by a staircase, an avenue, an expressway, and finally a building where window washers...
  • A City Walk From Rooftop to Street - A sequence that changes altitude across the city, opening on distant rooftops seen through glass, dropping to street-level signage and architecture, and closing on a nighttime convenience store and a daylight upward...
  • Street Shots Buildings - Six frames that move from a clock-tower building and a sunlit corner through one office block viewed from three distances, closing on a hazy mountain ridge.
  • An Aerial View Across a Dense City - A sequence of elevated views looking out and down over a dense city, opening on nearby glass-capped towers, descending into rooftop-level texture, and closing on a distant skyline beneath shifting cloud cover.
  • Circling a Lit Lattice Tower at Night - Eight night frames that circle a floodlit steel lattice tower -- from a distance, from directly beneath its legs and girders, and finally glimpsed through a red wooden gate.
  • Glass, Industrial Wall, and a Parked Car - A short sequence that shifts from an upward view of a glass building to street-level industrial details and finally to a parked vintage car in front of a row of gabled storefronts.
  • Rocks, Ruins, and River Reflections - A single outing's sequence that moves from boulders and undergrowth to a bridge and a derelict, graffiti-covered building, then closes on still-water reflections of sky and cloud.
  • A Walk From Courthouse To Memorial Gate - A seven-frame walking sequence moving from civic and working subjects — a courthouse sculpture and firefighters beside their engine — to a recurring iron cemetery gate photographed across several return visits, closing...
  • City Surfaces in Black and White - The sequence moves between flat street facades, repeating geometry, and deep architectural space.
  • Art, Light, and Stairs - A passage from open sky and carved stone into quieter windowed interiors.
  • Copper Sky, City Forms - Low angles and warm color connect tall facades with brief views of birds, water, and public space.
  • Autumn Light Among Markers - The foreground leans and varies while the distant rows settle into a regular green pattern.
  • Upward Lines - Black-and-white views collect steep angles and isolated symbols above eye level.
  • Curved Metal Under Blue Sky - Repeated curves, seams, and glints of sun build a study of scale that ends at street level.
  • Monuments in Evening Light - A walk circles between water, skyline, stone architecture, and passing figures near sunset.
  • Stair Lines at Dusk - A single interior compresses circulation, structure, and late light into repeating lines.
  • Concrete Curves and Quiet Forms - Concrete arcs and soft gallery light shift the sequence from public scale toward quiet objects.
  • Numbered Columns - Three close views turn navigation markers into an architectural counting study.
  • Memorial Arches - A bright waterfront memorial alternates outward views with quiet interior spaces.
  • Oval Skies and Working Streets - Curved concrete, rectilinear facades, distant mountains, and fluorescent clothing create contrasting urban geometries.
  • Yellow Board by the Tower - Small shifts in distance and angle turn a functional beach structure into a measured coastal study.
  • Flights Between Towers - Each frame tightens the architectural gap while holding a small plane inside the blue sky.
  • Doors, Towers, and Evening Light - Warm lamps and reflected windows move between blue evening streets and sharply sunlit masonry.
