Fully convinced that the ocean is fake. It’s a fundamentally unserious place. Look a this long guy. Why so long? Just cuz, vibes.

Eureka Valley is a place of immense beauty. Multicolors layers of strata eroding into vast alluvial fans give dramatic backdrop to the sand dune in the base of the valley. It's hard not to feel dwarfed by the landscape and the time it took to form.

Periods of my life that lack creative inspiration are always marked with down feeling. Life quite literally starts to feel grey and it can be exceedingly difficult to find the color again. The stuff that is typically exciting loses it’s magic.

During the winter of ’25 I found myself in one of these creative slumps. The long nights were becoming monotonous. Determined to improve my mental state I decided to force myself to do the things that typically bring me joy, even though I did’t currently feel inspired by them. 

This motivation led me to begin experimenting with implementing colored light into my double exposure work

After experimenting with this for a couple days, I had the idea to photograph snow fall at night, and overlay the images onto bright images of snowscapes during the day. I thought the suspended snow in a soft gradient of colored light would create the ethereal feel I so often look for.

The images below were a result of this experimentation, which I found quite exciting and absolutely pulled me out of the rut I was in. This is a technique I will be continuing to explore into the future.
