Not on view
Black and white photograph of bleached white driftwood sprawled on a rocky shoreline, with a calm lake reflecting clouds and a low ridge silhouetted in the distance
Gelatin silver print of a Spanish Colonial mission exterior, framed by large foreground arches. A wrought iron gate opens to a courtyard with a domed bell tower and arcaded facade, rendered in high contrast with deep shadows and bright white stucco walls.
Gelatin silver print of weathered wooden fence boards with a diagonal beam casting shadows across the vertical planks, low-growing leafy plants along the base, strong contrast between sunlit and shadowed surfaces.
Gelatin silver print, landscape photograph looking upward at a massive weathered tree stump with jagged, deeply textured wood, a tall conifer rising at left and a small sapling at right, against a hazy bright sky.
Gelatin silver print of a young person leaning against a dark brick building beside a weathered white door with a broken window pane; a jagged crack in the painted brick runs vertically along the left side of the wall, with sparse weeds at the base.
Gelatin silver print of a dense grove of aspen trees with pale, slender trunks rising vertically against a near-black background; a small leafy tree at left center is brightly lit, contrasting sharply with the surrounding darkness.
Gelatin silver print of a ruined church apse interior, viewed through a stone arch, with deteriorating painted plaster walls revealing exposed brick, decorative moldings, and faded ornamental designs near the vault.
Gelatin silver print of a pale stone cemetery sculpture depicting a seated woman in draped clothing holding a bouquet, her head resting on one hand, photographed from below against a dark sky. Industrial oil derricks and trees crowd the background.
Gelatin silver print of a massive granite cliff face filling the frame, with snow-dusted vertical striations and small conifers at the base; dramatic contrast between brightly lit rock surfaces and dark storm clouds above.
Gelatin silver print landscape, snow-covered valley floor and conifers in foreground, massive granite cliff face emerging from swirling mist in the background, with a gnarled deciduous tree at left framing the composition.
Gelatin silver print landscape, a bare dead tree in dark silhouette at center foreground, set against snow-covered mountains and a dramatic sky with billowing clouds; desert scrubland extends across the middle ground.
Gelatin silver print, close-up of a weathered wooden post covered in lichen and moss, with deep vertical grain and richly contrasted tonal range against a pale sky.
