The very nature of photography is slicing time. Photographs are based on exposure to light, be it film or sensor and usually lasting only a fraction of a second. But in that unique moment, magic is made, never to be repeated, for seasons change, expressions are different, and nothing is static. It’s just a click, but one of endless boundaries and imagination, pausing time, and never to be captured again.

Not sure where this was taken. It's part of several images from a trip to Death Valley. In some way, it reminds me of a cathedral. The lighting feels like it's coming through a window, high and to the right. The scale is hard to know, but the cliffs are very big. Most of my work stays within the confines of the 35mm frame. All of my images are tightly cropped at time of capture and I hate to give away real estate during post-processing. I need to let go and break away from those artificial boundaries.
