This is a selection of my top 12 images of 2018.\u00a0This selection doesn\u2019t reflect sales, publication, or activities on the web. It simply reflects my opinion. Click on the titles to find out more about each image.<\/p>\n

Geography<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The locations include Antarctica, Spain, Arches National Park, Scoresbysund Greenland, and Maine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Process<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Continuing the momentum from the previous year I completed my first seriesof finished works with my iPhone \u2013 Land In Land. Processing images on location, sometimes seconds after making exposures, is a gamechanger. Even more interesting\u00a0is the sense of seeing the image better at arm’s length, allowing me to see the composition and the subject simultaneously.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised\u00a0when another experiment\u00a0worked\u00a0as I combined images in the public domain from the Hubble telescope with my own exposures, expanding the images in my series Constellation to\u00a0add images of deep space\u00a0to those of stars observed with the naked eye.<\/p>\n

Concepts<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

I continue to explore\u00a0presenting many moments in time simultaneously to\u00a0see one aspect of land through another.\u00a0In more recent work, the detail and the overview are united in\u00a0a single integrated experience. As ever, what’s behind and beyond\u00a0shows through.<\/p>\n

My use of\u00a0abstraction has expanded from minimalism to include more complex maximal patterns.<\/p>\n

Magic Moment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most sublime moments were found in Greenland’s, Scoresbysund,\u00a0as the weather shifted\u00a0to winter conditions\u00a0creating dramatic\u00a0katabatic winds and\u00a0unusual ice conditions\u00a0found only at the beginning of the season. Being on the only boat (a three-masted\u00a0schooner built in the early 1900s) in the fiord system heightened the sense of adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was a very productive year; more than 75 new works released; more than 150 new studies made.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\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).<\/span><\/p>\n
