Black and white photograph of a nude figure standing outdoors beside a clothesline rack hung with white sheets, head obscured by draped fabric, stone wall and garden visible in background.
Gelatin silver print of a wooden cross adorned with floral wreaths and draped fabric, set among gnarled bare trees and rocky terrain beneath an overcast sky.
Black and white photograph shot from below with a wide-angle lens, looking up at a curved concrete wall ledge with two dark handprints. Overcast sky above, utility wires crossing diagonally, and a wooden structure at upper right.
Gelatin silver print landscape of rolling dirt terrain with a winding road; four figures in dark clothing walk in the middle distance, with mist-covered forested hills receding into the background.
Gelatin silver print of four cyclists riding across a vast, flat desert plain, seen from behind, with luggage on their bicycles; distant mountain range and pale sky occupy the upper half of the composition.
Gelatin silver print of two figures on a sunlit sidewalk before a large weathered wall, with white laundry hanging on lines above; dramatic cloudy sky and trees in background.
Gelatin silver print, upward-angled view of a stucco building corner with a small paned window, agave plants with pointed leaves in the foreground casting sharp shadows across the pale wall.
