The Quiet Curve
January 5, 2026 | Death Valley National Park
The curves in the dunes can be sensuous, but every so often one feels truly exceptional. This line moved through the frame with a quiet confidence, echoed by the layered forms in the background. It immediately felt like a black-and-white image to me, a way to emphasize shape, contrast, and rhythm without distraction. More and more, I’m drawn to that tension between light and dark in my work. As in life, one doesn’t exist without the other.
