Black and White Photography

This black-and-white artwork captures the dramatic silhouette of a dried Allium flower, majestically outlined against the glaring sun. A strong backlight brings out in detail the fine structures of the seed capsules and creates a striking beam of light that diagonally cuts through the image. The sky in the background is threaded with delicate clouds, while dark silhouettes of trees at the bottom edge ground the composition. The dynamic bottom-up perspective emphasizes the plant's imposing presence.

When I was photographing this a person was watching and asked if i had a special filter to remove the haze? I spent the next few minutes explaining what I was seeing and how the haze made the image.

Three hills rest together in the Wyoming distance, and the one at the end rises with a small flag at its crown, as if it has quietly accepted the task of standing closest to the sky.

I have passed this wishing well many times and thought of photographing it. This was actually the first time it had sticks in it and no trespassing signs placed nearby. Well, with the help of my 24mm-70mm lens I was still able to finally capture the wishing well without causing any disturbance.

This was taken traveling south on highway 6 from the I-70 after we left Colorado. This was early spring last year. We were definitely uncertain what we would be heading into. We had just went through Price and Helper making our way up to Provo and Salt Lake City. It was a pretty awesome sight, yet worrisome at the same time.

There is nothing like winter in the high Rockies

In western Kansas these formation were part of the ancient inland ocean that divided North America

Somewhere in the South Dakota prairie

Captured on the road in Idaho, this image began with the simple presence of water sprinklers moving across the field, but the longer I looked, the more the scene opened up. The sky became the first thing to speak — wide, layered, and full of movement — while the mountains settled quietly into the background with their steady presence.

🖤🤍Circle of Silence🤍🖤

Silence isn’t empty—it’s where form, light, and thought converge. A perfect circle holding infinite stillness.

🖤🤍Art within the architecture 🤍🖤

Where light meets lines—architecture in its purest, quietest form. 🖤
Angles, shadows, and silence—where structure becomes sculpture and light tells the story. This space feels almost suspended in time, a balance of precision and calm that only reveals itself after dark.

A few photos from a documentary project. I was lucky enoigh to be invited to photograph this old infants school just after it closed

It os now a private residence

Two dandelion seed heads stand in backlight against a nearly completely dark background. The soft, side lighting highlights the delicate seed heads and gives them an almost luminous presence. In the foreground two already faded stems — one still bearing individual seeds, the other completely bare.

The composition plays with the contrast between abundance and loss, between the moment of existence and the imminent disappearance. The darkness of the background is not absence, but space — it elevates the fleeting into the essential.

lines, reflections, and shadows—
where the real dissolves into the abstract.
This structure isn’t just built; it bends perception, turning steel and glass into a living illusion.

Step into the frame, and the city fractures.
The building becomes a prism—splitting light, multiplying surfaces, and distorting reality into shifting perspectives.
What you see depends on where you stand. That’s the art of architecture: it makes us question not only space, but vision itself.

While photographing some old cars at an open-air garage, those kids were playing around me in every shot I took, and suddenly they hopped up on that old Dodge and, thinking of a portrait shot, I later preferred to concentrate on the reflection of the kids' legs and the classic old shoes. I think it was taken in 1992–93 on Ilford Pan F 50 ASA black-and-white film, Santiago, Chile. I love those magic moments from my student days. 😇

Hello everyone!

My first black and white shot of a moonlit seascape. As always, comments, suggestions, and criticisms are welcome. Good luck!

The project explores the movement of water through black-and-white photography in the Capital State Forest. Rather than focusing on broad scenic views, the photographs stay close to the creek's surface, examining motion, repetition, and flow within the landscape.

Part of the Lake Michigan Eastern Shore dune succession. This is the beach side entrance to Indiana Dunes National Park’s Succession Dunes Trail. Showing the beach to foredune portion of succession, the trail provides the complete story. I will be posing more of this succession in my third forthcoming book.
