These Grand Places | 2012
In my working method with a 4x5 camera, time slows and moments of contemplation are possible. I often photograph at dusk, when color bleeds from the sky and the sublime reveals itself. As the light of day dims, time and movement become an integral part of the photographic process. These Grand Places are collected from many different places in parts of the American landscape, and abroad while at two different residencies in France.
