Earth Portraits

The landscape, similar to a human subject, is always changing and is hard to pin down in a moment. Weather conditions, seasons, lighting, natural forces and human interference all have an effect on what is perceived. Add to the mix access, point of view, and equipment used to capture an image. Then the film may be scratched, pushed, pulled, or otherwise manipulated, much like the body when attempting to face nature. Working with analog photographic processes is a tactile approach which allows time and space to achieve layers of separation from the subject matter, resulting in an evocative image that reflects the passage of time.
