“Veil after veil of thin dusky gauze is lifted, and by degrees the forms and colours of things are restored to them, and we watch the dawn remaking the world in its antique pattern.”
~ Oscar Wilde
"This photograph, “First Light, Oregon, 2020”, was made at a small lake in the mountains of central Oregon on a crisp late summer morning. It’s a place I go back to over and over again. Every day seems to have new secrets to reveal. I enjoy sleeping close to the water’s edge and waking very early to revel in the wonderful peace. There is something captivating to me about the way the mist gathers and rises at dawn. I find it mesmerizing."
