Sunrise At Lake Mendocino
A tranquil dawn unfolds over Lake Mendocino along California’s rugged North Coast. The first light of day paints the sky in soft gradations of violet, amber, and rose, gently mirrored in the calm waters below. Silhouetted hills form a graceful horizon, anchoring the composition in stillness. A quiet procession of ducks glides from right to left, their delicate wake trailing behind like calligraphy on the surface. Scattered wooden posts add rhythm and balance to the scene, evoking a sense of timeless quietude. This image captures the hush of early morning—a fleeting communion between light, land, and water. This image was taken with a Mamiya 645 medium format camera with Kodak Gold 200 film.
Cape Quiet
Midday light brushes the weathered façade of the Cape Cod Railway Station, casting long lines along the track that disappears into stillness. Captured on a Nikon F2 with a classic Nikkor-S 50mm f/1.4 lens, this photograph was shot on Tri-X 400 film, pushed to 1600 to accentuate its expressive grain and contrast. The platform’s faded Stand Back stencil and the soft dissolve of sky into cloud evoke a quietude both physical and emotional. In this image, time holds its breath—a moment suspended between motion and memory on the edge of Nantucket Sound.
Point Reyes Sunset
Winding along a quiet road toward the Point Reyes National Seashore, the sky unfurls in layers of Pacific cloud—swollen, luminous, and vast. Captured on Tri-X 320 film with a Mamiya 645 medium format film camera, this image distills the drama of a coastal summer sunset, where evening light pushes through heavy skies and pools across the Sonoma hills. The road curves into the unknown, and the sepia toning deepens the photograph’s sense of age and awe. Point Reyes Sunset speaks in tones of gold and shadow—of light remembered, and solitude held in open space.
Moonwatch
Captured in the remote backcountry of Sonoma County, California, this fine art photograph balances celestial drama with pastoral stillness. Towering cumulus clouds rise like a dream into the sky, crowned by the quiet grace of a full moon. Below, a rugged boulder and a scattering of grazing cattle root the image in gentle earthiness. Photographed with a Mamiya 645 medium format camera on Ilford Delta 400 Professional film, the image reveals a graceful tonal range and crisp detail. Limited to 25 archival prints, this piece evokes wonder, solitude, and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
