Half Moon’s Sun
c. 2016
The Sun’s set upon Half Moon Dome shifts everyday throughout the year. Shaping different colors, moods, and personalities every evening for this natural wonder.
In “Half Moon’s Sun”, a low and even Sun meets the sheer face of the dome with radiant grace. The range of mountains dropping back is met with the refraction from the ray’s in the atmosphere give a real sense of depth when taking in the view and gazing down the image.
Allowing the light to pour into the lens for an extended period of time captures all the details of the shadowed valley, while a very tight aperture keeps all of the light in check. Using a long exposure also adds more richness to the tones and a natural softness to the lines within the image.
This makes Half Moon Dome really stand out from the rest of its environment, while the tight aperture keeps the depths of the photograph in focus. Altogether, the combination of capturing light over an extended period of time and a small opening to allow the light in has given the entire image the feel of a painting.
Wind in the Willow
Central Towers
c. 2019
During a cool, autumn morning in Central Park, these two towers watch over a peaceful setting of locals and tourists alike, enjoying the simple beauty of nature within the busiest city in the world.
The colored trees present a stunning divide of reflection that can only be captured with such early-morning stillness. The light to dark gradient created through the image and reflection insights the same sense of an early morning sunrise over a shadowed land.
The water grasses frame the reflected towers delicately to remind us of the setting and location of the pond, but roughly to show that nature isn’t completely perfect. If anything, the image shows us that the beauty of nature is perfect, and even when we build the most amazing architecture, what makes it so beautiful is the earth around it: the sky, the trees, the water.

Aged Aglow
c. 2022
There’s something very distinct about the warmth of the evening glow in the midst of summer. Rains may come and go, but the sun will always shine through, and together they bring new life. The beauty of the distinct sides of the image create a balance found in all walks of life and environments.
The dark passing storms overpowered by the lowering sun solidifies the necessity to shine positivity through all reflections.
The natural growth balanced with the cultivated field emphasizes that while we have a purpose to act accordingly, there is substance and beauty in going with what may come in life and flourishing through that.

Highland Portrait

Highland Above
c. 2022
Enduring, peaceful, and beautiful, Highland cows are some of the most revered animals on the planet. Known for their characteristic color, coat, and character, these creatures are some of the best that Earth has to offer.
The textured, orange coat contrasts perfectly to the smooth, desaturated blue of a distant storm brewing. The tones of the ground and horizon create the perfect base to balance out the lightness of the open sky background. Her orange coat is the perfect balance between the background tones of nature, as she stands strong, ready for the storms to come.
