Last Light/First Light, 2021

Last Light/First Light is a journey through time and light. For years, I have dedicated myself to capturing the ethereal beauty of the shortest day of the year.

I seek out locations with a flat horizon to the east and west, occasionally returning to the same hallowed grounds. I observe with patience as the light dances on the edge of disappearance, only to witness its triumphant return once more. The cross pattern, a result of shooting a roll of 2 1/4 film at dusk and then reusing the same roll at dawn, is a testament to the serendipitous nature of their process. The 90-degree rotation echoes the rotation of our planet to the sun, adding a layer of symbolism to the artwork.

The captivating journey of Last Light/First Light began in the year 2000 on the West Coast of the United States. Serving as documentation of light and time itself, this abstract photograph image is the result of a double exposure born from chance and celestial alignment. The photograph was taken on December 21st and 22nd, 2021.

Limited to 50 prints total, each 12" x 12" fine art photograph is signed on the verso and framed in a simple, elegant white wooden frame. For a contemporary art or contemporary photography collector, owning this edition and curating it into your collection means becoming a custodian of a visual narrative that transcends time and connects you to the boundless universe.
