Occultation I
This image was created at Driftwood Beach during the brief passage when day releases its hold and night has not yet arrived. The full moon rises into a sky still carrying the last warmth of the sun, while the tide lifts and dissolves the shoreline around the fallen trees.
Price range: $87.20 through $2,160.00
Residual Field
Here, the body of the tree has relinquished its vertical claim. What remains is not a form, but a pressure. The light no longer sculpts upward. It spreads outward. The shadows lengthen and take on autonomy, extending the subject beyond its physical edge.
Price range: $67.20 through $2,140.00
Slains Castle
This image was made along the cliffs of Slains Castle in Scotland, under a night that felt less like darkness and more like presence.
Light does not simply reveal the structure, it isolates it.
For a brief moment, the castle stands apart from time, suspended between land, sea, and sky.
What was once a place of defense becomes something quieter, almost introspective.
The walls hold history, but the light holds something else entirely.
A sense that even in ruin, there is still weight, still meaning, still form.
This photograph is about that intersection.
Where architecture, landscape, and time briefly come into alignment.
And then disappear again.
Price range: $67.20 through $2,140.00
Sonoran Nocturne Lanndscape Study
Under a star-filled desert sky, the Sonoran landscape rises into visibility. Cacti, stone, and earth emerge from darkness not as scenery, but as presence. This image captures a place that only exists when light touches it, when night briefly gives the land back to itself.
Price range: $67.20 through $2,140.00
The Breath Between Waters (Rainbow Falls)
Water is motion by nature, yet here it hesitates.
At Rainbow Falls, the river is drawn into an impossible stillness. The cascade continues, but its force is softened, stretched into a single suspended gesture. The forest recedes into darkness, the stars emerge overhead, and time dilates around the fall itself.
Price range: $67.20 through $2,140.00
The First Witness
This was my first image created at Driftwood Beach and remains a defining piece of the series.
The tree’s skeletal structure is illuminated against the vast blackness of the night sky, with only a faint trace of ocean floating behind it. The stars offer no comfort, only depth.
Price range: $87.20 through $2,160.00
