A Quiet Witness
In a shaded Zurich park, a solitary statue kneels in silent observation atop its pedestal, aligned perfectly with a man resting on a bench nearby. Framed by dense summer foliage and bisected by a path, the composition draws a gentle symmetry between stone and flesh, permanence and pause. Captured with a Hasselblad 500CM and 40mm lens, the image distills a fleeting moment of stillness into something timeless. It’s a meditation on presence—how figures carved and living share the same space, both absorbed in reflection beneath the trees.
The Path Ahead
In a rose garden in Baden-Baden, Germany, an elderly couple pauses at the top of a short stair, framed by tall trees and the long, empty path before them. Their coats mirror each other, their presence calm and synchronized, a quiet testament to companionship through time. Shot with a Hasselblad 500CM and 40mm lens, the wide-angle perspective gently pulls the viewer forward—toward the solitary bench in the distance, and perhaps, toward reflection. This image is not only a study in symmetry and tone, but a meditation on enduring connection, grace in aging, and the quiet poetry of everyday moments.
Barcelona Moment
A man and his dog emerge from shadow into a quiet shaft of light beneath an ornate coffered ceiling in a narrow Barcelona passage. The scene is a fleeting composition of architecture, rhythm, and solitude—framed by old stone columns and softened by the glow of midday sun. The strong geometry of the ceiling above contrasts with the relaxed pace below, where the ordinary becomes momentous in a single frame. This photograph captures a quiet pause in the city’s timeless motion—a moment of stillness, beautifully suspended between light and structure.
What Still Stands in Memory
Spanning a rugged ravine beneath the distant echo of a mountain waterfall, this wooden train trestle once carried the weight of industry across remote terrain. Captured in 1994 with a Hasselblad 500CM and 40mm lens, the image preserves a structure that no longer exists—lost to fire, yet rendered here in stark black and white as both document and elegy. The dense scaffolding of timber, the weathered slopes, and the slow creep of nature reclaiming the hillside all speak to time, labor, and loss. Digitized in 2025, this photograph is not only a visual record, but a tribute to the impermanence of the built world—and the enduring power of memory.
Solitude at the Edge of Ice
Nestled high in the glacial wilderness near Salmon Glacier in northwestern British Columbia, just beyond the small town of Stewart, a lone weathered cabin stands sentinel over the slow, unyielding advance of ice. Shrouded in cold mist and framed by rugged pines, the scene evokes a profound sense of isolation and quiet resilience. The black-and-white treatment accentuates the stark interplay of glacial textures, steep alpine slopes, and the enduring imprint of human presence on the edge of wilderness. It is a portrait of solitude, where time moves with the glacier—slow, immense, and unstoppable.
Photographed in 1995 on TMX 6052 with a Hasselblad 500cm and 40mm lens.
Silent Sentinel
Silent Sentinel
Bathed in the stillness of night and standing ready on the tarmac, this WWII-era fighter rests beneath a quiet sky, its form defined by light and memory. Captured at the Abbotsford Airshow just after sunset, the faint star trails above hint at the passage of time in a moment otherwise frozen. In the distance, the snow-capped silhouette of Mount Baker adds a sense of permanence, contrasting with the transience of war machines and their fading echoes. The black-and-white treatment sharpens every contour—highlighting the bold invasion stripes, the powerful stance, and the solitude of a fighter between missions. A moment of calm between past and present, motion and rest.
