Photographs in Platinum Portfolio1982-1993

Not on view
Black and white photograph of a tall cylindrical wire mesh enclosure surrounding a bare leafless tree in a flat, open field under an overcast sky
Black and white photograph of a weathered two-story clapboard farmhouse with dormers, a pickup truck parked in front, wooden crates stacked with produce at left, and scattered objects in a dirt yard, dense trees behind
Gelatin silver print of an industrial urban waterway, with a vertical-lift railroad bridge spanning the river at center, its steel towers and truss reflected in calm water below. A brick building fills the left edge, cluttered riverbanks with bare trees at left, and multistory warehouse buildings recede into an overcast sky.
Gelatin silver print of an industrial landscape, elevated view looking down parallel railroad tracks spanning a trestle bridge over a shallow waterway, with oil refineries, utility poles, and a distant city skyline receding to the horizon.
Gelatin silver print, ground-level view beneath a wooden pier, rows of graffiti-tagged timber pilings receding into misty light, sandy beach floor with scattered debris, high-contrast tonal range.
Gelatin silver print of the underside of a concrete freeway interchange, viewed from ground level. Massive curved ramps and rows of cylindrical pillars recede into hazy distance. Foreground shows a dirt lot with abandoned cars, stacked tires, and a trailer.
Gelatin silver print of a large cylindrical concrete structure with a domed roof, partially obscured by dense trees, set against an overcast sky above an open field with tall grass.
Gelatin silver print of a horizontal propane storage tank centered in the foreground, set on low supports against a dense backdrop of conifer trees, rendered in sharp tonal contrast.
Black and white landscape photograph of bare-branched trees growing against a steep, fractured rock face, with scattered shrubs and a fallen tree visible at right.
Gelatin silver print landscape of a sweeping canyon vista, a gnarled desert shrub in the foreground on rocky ledge, with a river curving through deep canyon walls receding into the distance.
Gelatin silver print, aerial landscape view of a desert canyon with towering sandstone walls, a winding river snaking through the valley floor, and scattered trees and scrub vegetation below.
Black and white landscape photograph of a rocky gorge with a stream, long exposure rendering the water silky smooth between layered sandstone ledges and a large rounded boulder in the foreground, dense tree canopy visible in the background.
