What Holds Us.

It’s been a while since I got to just make photographs. Thank you kathyryan and chenpamela for the idea and the freedom to run with it. What ensued was a wild 36-hour strike mission into the mountains to photograph the show. 

Over my life I have returned to the mountains again and again. It’s there where I’ve learned to focus on the fundamentals. I come here to think about what matters, what holds us. In these raw, wild places there is no place to hide from yourself. I have experienced awe, loss, sorrow and peace, and joy I can’t explain. The mountains do not judge. They remain the great neutral teacher.

Four of these photographs feature conrad_anker, someone who has committed a lifetime to a craft, in a place that was here long before him and will remain long after. The rest honor the place that nurtures us. The chaotic symmetry in rock and ice. Light moving across a glacier. Small things, easy to miss. 

Honored to share the space, and some time, with two incredible artists, alexprager and jackdavisonphoto.

Grateful to Tim Cook, John Ternus, and the whole team at apple: tverrecchia scottseviour and musingmutley. To erichroepke and mikeylikesrocks on the ground, and to everyone who came out.
