The work

Made over several years.
On foot. Usually alone.
Usually early.

Twelve plates.
Four sizes.
Two editions.

I have photographed food and the people who make it for twenty years. Trees are the work I do for myself.

These are the ones I keep going back to. Maples in a garden. Live oaks. Cypress standing in black water. One dead tree on a hill. None of them were assignments. Each one took more than one visit.

Open editions are unlimited. The edition of twenty-five is numbered, with a certificate I sign.

Detail of Plate 03, Drift
Plate 03, detail

A heavy, irregular surface. Blacks sit deeper in it.

Torchon has a coarse, uneven surface that suits black and white: the shadows go down and the highlights stay clean. The surface is matte, with very little glare. The paper is acid-free and lignin-free, made to the ISO 9706 permanence standard. Like any print on paper, it keeps best out of direct sun.

Prints are made to order and arrive unframed.
