Winter in Black and White

Winter 2024 pulled me into black and white. Stripping the color away forces me to think in pure value, light against dark, and it sharpens everything I do when the color comes back.

Here are a few of those sessions: a snowy ridge, a stormy coastline, and a long pine forest panorama that took me the better part of a month to call finished.

Sometimes taking the rainbow away is exactly what teaches me how to use it.
