THE FLEETING AND THE ABIDING SHOWING
Through my lens I see beauty in both: the fleeting and the abiding, both participating in the circle of life but at very different paces.
A flower blooms, a brief but breath-taking existence. The rocky slopes, a long-established contour of our landscape have their own rhythm. Rivers erode, plates move, landscapes slowly change, and everything takes part in its own cycle of renewal. In the mountains there is longevity and a strong foundation. I see the face of my father in my shots of the Remarkable’s which were taken shortly after his death even after his passing, his image and his influence endures
The collection captures the two extremes of the life cycle. A fragile new life, blossoming for a short time before returning to the earth, and solid rock that weathers storms, grows forests, and serves as a foundation for life of many.
