Patagonia, 2025
February 2025 is summer in Patagonia, where I saw brand new blues in the optical illusions provided by glaciers. These waters, so far south that the light shines differently on them, lie between 51°S - 55°S. The vastness of nature dwarfing human life was palpable.
These photographs are all scanned Portra 400 film, shot with my Mamiya C220. The black outlines show that I choose not to crop or alter them digitally to honor a direct impression of the present moment. Limited edition archival inkjet prints of these images are available for purchase - contact me for size options.
