Not on view
Black and white gelatin silver print landscape of two snow-capped mountain peaks flanking a valley, with dramatic billowing cumulus clouds against a dark sky
Gelatin silver print of a dense forest interior, a young conifer sapling at center surrounded by ferns and foliage, with a large moss-covered trunk at left and a fallen log in the foreground, rendered in deep contrasting blacks and luminous highlights.
Gelatin silver print of desert sand dunes with sparse yucca plants and scrub brush casting long diagonal shadows across rippled white sand, high-contrast black and white tones.
Gelatin silver print of a towering canyon wall with vertical streaks of dark desert varnish dominating the composition; small ancestral pueblo cliff dwellings nestled in a natural alcove at lower center, with bright foliage and trees in the foreground.
Gelatin silver print landscape, a textured snow-covered slope in the foreground leads to a panoramic view of receding mountain ridges with scattered conifers, rendered in rich tonal gradations from bright snow to hazy, layered distances.
Gelatin silver print, close-up of weathered and split tree stump with jagged vertical grain filling most of the frame, small leafy plant with delicate flowers visible along the left edge against a dark background.
Gelatin silver print of a winter landscape; snow-laden pine branches fill the foreground, with a winding dark stream at center-left, tall conifers, and jagged granite peaks rising through cloudy skies in the background.
Gelatin silver print landscape of a large mountain lake viewed from an elevated rocky promontory, with silhouetted conifers in the foreground, light reflecting in bright patches across the water's surface, and steep cliff walls receding into the distance.
Gelatin silver print of a desert landscape, dominated by a large granite boulder formation with sharp shadows and smooth weathered surfaces; a Joshua tree nestled in a crevice at left, scattered rocks and desert scrub in the foreground, dramatic cloudy sky above.
Gelatin silver print landscape; dense marsh grasses fill the foreground, a winding stream curves through a flat meadow toward a tree line and cloud-shrouded mountain in the distance; high contrast with bright highlights on the grass blades against a dark, stormy sky.
Gelatin silver print, close-up of gnarled, twisted dead tree branches filling the frame against a pale gray sky, with high contrast between dark bark and pale split wood grain.
Gelatin silver print of an aerial landscape view of deeply eroded badlands, with ridged formations of pale, striated terrain receding diagonally toward dark shadowed mountains in the upper background; high contrast tonal range with a handwritten signature at lower right.
Gelatin silver print of a geyser erupting against a dramatic cloudy sky, with a dark column of steam and water rising from a low rocky horizon, backlit by bright diffused light breaking through clouds.
Gelatin silver print of a coastal seascape, with surf rushing over dark rocky ledges in the foreground and light reflecting off the open ocean beneath a heavy overcast sky.
Gelatin silver print of a dense forest, tall slender trees with sunlit foliage contrasting against dark evergreens in the background, strong tonal range with bright highlights in the upper canopy.
