\nGeography
\nMy obsession continued with places defined by water (either an abundance of it or a lack of it) in the polar-regions of Greenland and Iceland and in the deserts (an absence of water, yet often shaped by waters long gone) of Namibia, Argentina, and California.
\nProcess
\nHalf the images I released in 2015 were exposed in other years. Several of the other images were processed on location or the day they were exposed. I date \u201cstraight\u201d shots based on the date they were exposed and composites on the date they are completed.
\nConcepts
\nThere were several new twists on old subjects and themes: amid sensual dunes multiple moments \/ perspectives became conjoined; levitating stones became ice; below reflective water surfaces instead of closer details full landscapes are seen; seeing through things to what lies behind them shifted from skies to landscapes.
\nMagnificent Moment
\nOnce again, flying over the 1,500 foot coral dunes of Sossusvlei for more than an hour was simply divine, especially when coupled with the hours spent walking its shifting surfaces in constantly changing light.
\nIt\u2019s challenging to choose so few images from so many \u2013 but it\u2019s insightful. Try selecting your own top 12 images. Try selecting the top 12 images of your favorite artist(s).<\/p>\n
