Time Standing Still

I saw these horses standing in the field as the storm behind them was approaching. The light illuminated them for moments and then passed as is the nature of storm light. It is taken with no filters and is a digital image converted from color to B/W. 

Photographed late in the evening with a 4x5 view camera, this scene was almost as bleak as it appears. There was sign of fire yet there these three trees were all that was left living on the hill. It was in the early days of my working with Pyrogallol-based developers which produce a stain on the film and are particularly effective on subjects where there are edges and contrast. California, 1995. 

This abandoned hanger shows the signs of years of neglect. Rusted metal, peeling paint and not a sole in sight. I used an 8x10 Wisner view camera and HP5+ film which felt appropriate for the scale of the image. I have since gone back and photographed the same area using both digital and film cameras. 

Photographed on a small trail in Glacier, MT these flowers were almost ignored. Their delicate beauty deserved a few minutes of reverence. I used my Hasselblad X2D camera and an XCD-35-75mm lens which allows a large range of options when hiking. 

The early morning sunlight reflected from the white door on this abandoned building in downtown San Antonio. Photographed with a 4x5 view camera and Tri-X film developed in the classic HC-110B developer.  

The abandoned living quarters of a military base in San Antonio shows the wear of time and weather on this hinged door. A bit of an homage to Minor White, I wanted to capture the delicate folds of the peeling paint and their individual shadows.
