California
California’s eastern Sierra presents a landscape shaped by both geology and imagination. Here, ancient lakes, desert valleys, and mountain ranges hold stories measured in centuries, millennia, and memory. These photographs explore two places where landscape and history intersect in different ways: Mono Lake, where change remains visible in the land itself, and Lone Pine, where the American West continues to exist both as a physical place and as a cultural myth.
Preserved with Intention. offered to time.
Mono Lake
One of North America’s oldest lakes, Mono Lake stands as a reminder that even ancient landscapes are vulnerable to change. The tufa formations and receding shoreline document a place suspended between endurance and transformation.
Lone Pine
Framed by the Alabama Hills and the Sierra Nevada, Lone Pine occupies a unique place in the mythology of the American West. Its landscapes have appeared in countless films, preserving both a physical place and the stories projected upon it. The landscape exists both as a physical place and as a repository of collective memory.
These photographs explore the intersection of geography and imagination, documenting a landscape that has become inseparable from the stories told within it.
