Trees as subjects across all seasons and stages – living oaks backlit at golden hour, fog-wrapped silhouettes, wind-sculpted high desert forms, winter-bare branches against storm skies, and the skeletal architecture of snags and stumps. This collection spans Northern California and Nevada locations, emphasizing isolated specimens and the graphic potential of leafless trees.
The gallery includes infrared black and white and false color work (which renders foliage as luminous white against dark skies) and natural color captures across varied lighting – sunrise, fog, snow, and dramatic cloud formations. Subjects range from lone valley oaks in agricultural landscapes to aspen groves, red fir stands, and weather-beaten survivors in harsh high-elevation or desert conditions. The focus is on form, texture, and the way different light conditions reveal tree structure.
