A long-exposure series made along Monterey Bay, where shifting light, tide, and atmosphere transform the shoreline into a study of impermanence and climate. I approach the landscape as a conservationist and a student of light, working with rigor, patience, and respect for the natural world. Long exposures dissolve the ocean’s surface into movement, making the passage of time visible rather than freezing it. Embedded within these images is a quiet tragedy: sunsets have changed. Human activity has altered the atmosphere, increasing aerosols that scatter and absorb shorter wavelengths. Photographically, this creates a paradox. More extreme sunsets can produce striking images, yet those images reveal an underlying sickness in the atmosphere. The image becomes both a call to reverence and a warning.
