Butterfly in the ashes

This series of gelatin silver photographs was shot a few years ago with my friend Kristen and my Mamiya 645.  We drove out along the sunrise highway, chasing the charred burned path left by the fires that burn naturally in that area every year.  The butterfly is a symbol of new life and new beginnings.  We were in this area before life had a chance to begin a new, hopefully Kristen left a little of her butterfly spirit behind to feed the land.

These images are offered in limited quantity.  Email me if you would like to arrange for a photograph of either one of these images.
