Gelatin silver print, close-up of a white-painted wooden door with raised panels and peeling paint, a black metal latch casting a diagonal shadow at left, horizontal clapboard siding visible at right.
Gelatin silver print landscape, a bare dead tree with gnarled branching rises against a dense dark forest; rocky foreground strewn with boulders and low flowering ground cover, with fallen deadwood mid-frame; high contrast with deep blacks
Gelatin silver print of a man in a cap and work apron seated outdoors in front of a wooden structure, surrounded by cut stone blocks, tools, and a draped canvas overhead.
Gelatin silver print of a cemetery tomb niche with a marble ledge bearing a nameplate reading 'WILLIE.' A glass vase with dried wildflowers and ferns sits before a weathered marble tablet inscribed 'FAMILY OF' above the niche, which shows streaked, stained marble below.
