My final project for my Large Format class. All photographs shot on 4x5 film.

"The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation." - Rent.

The idea originally was to create a peaceful looking landscape using smoke which has graceful movements when looked at closely and without fire. What I ended up happening when I developed the film was the look of an after war scene, the remains of a location that at one time was peaceful, happy and full of life. I wanted to create peace, but I create war instead.

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we cannot eat money.

Is there anything as sad as a water-filled swing in winter?

Cruising over to Homfray Lodge on the Pacific Bear

Completely dry

A well used hiking trail travels along Umtanum Creek at the base of steep canyon walls. It can be quite cold and icy in the winter as the sun rarely reaches the canyon floor. After hiking several miles along the trail we decided to climb out to the flatter land above and hike back to our campsite. While walking I came across this small tree standing on the high desert landscape. It looked so alone and desolate against the stormy sky I had to stop and photograph it.

Shawn tests our snow to make sure it works correctly. He is an expert and we are lucky to have him along.
