Summit Light and Domes

Cloud decks and long shadows flatten the horizon while illuminated slopes and curved structures catch the last light.

Rounded cinder cones rise from deep blue shadow, their upper slopes turning amber under a clear high sky.

The sequence widens toward a glowing horizon, then closes on large pale domes with open latticed and luminous interiors.

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.
