Snow Lines Above Dark Water

Dark water and a low forested band hold the base of distant white slopes.

Snow traces the ridges and bowls of a broad mountain range while clouds soften several high points.

The nearly level shoreline keeps both frames quiet, letting the changing folds of the range carry the sequence.

Land & Water

  • Rock, Water, and Color - The sequence alternates broad landscape views with closer studies of people, foliage, and concrete before recognizable scenery gives way to overlapping colors and linear marks.
  • Between Deck and Open Water - Water, deck surfaces, railings, reflections, people, and distant land establish changing scales between the boat and its surroundings.
  • Along the Waterline - Changes in scale, backlighting, and natural framing connect boats, a small turtle, distant figures, palms, reflective water, and the low sun.
  • Fronds, Shore, and Ship - A study of changing scale across foliage, recreational beach space, open water, maritime architecture, and people within large white structures.
  • Loosies (2) - A loose sequence of standalone frames held together by water: views down from a ship's height, an abstract pane of hazy light, one crowded burst of costumed musicians, and wide, nearly empty beaches.
  • Sunset - A three-frame study of a single low sun over open water: the sun on the horizon, an overlapping translucent structure sharing the same sky, and the amber horizon light that remains once no sun is visible.
  • Shoreline to Backroad - Eight frames that begin at the waterline under overcast light, brighten into a sunlit beach with a posed pair, and end on a road with a motorcycle rider and a cattle truck.
  • A Snow-Capped Peak Above Layered Ridgelines - A sequence of high-altitude views looking down across layered ridgelines toward one recurring snow-capped peak, its position, haze, and framing shifting from frame to frame.
