Ongoing Projects

The solution when the whole world seems blah, blah, blah? Go back to Weston.

American Nukes

35,000 miles, cross-country, over four years photographing nuclear weapons and still not done.

Perhaps Somewhere

Photographed from a moving train, the photographs are of some other world.

The Black and White Forest

In 2020, a forest fire way out in the desert gutted the world’s largest and densest Joshua tree forest. I’ve been making images there since 2019.

Antietam

This project started in 2004, and I’ve been back, again and again, trying to learn the lessons of this great battle.

Yosemite 95389

Part homage to Ansel Adams, part exorcism. Photographed on a tripod-mounted iPhone.

In this itty-bitty computer screen, images you’d never know that I’m making pictures of airplanes.

They say it’s the greatest canyon on Earth. They’re right. The most beautiful. And somehow, one of the most political landscapes you’ll ever see.

Hotels

I’ve stayed in over a thousand hotel rooms, and all of them, once your eyes adjust, are full of light.

Chaparral

The vegetation along the trail that I walk most every day with my wife.

Zooscapes

Zoos (I’ve photographed in dozens of them now) offer incredible opportunities for serious image-making.

Yellowstone

Yellowstone is a tricky place for photographs, and this project is a bit sprawling as a result. But I think I see the way forward.

I’ve worked here several times, sotting photographs, shooting video–all of it an utter failure. Until last year, when it all (finally!) came together.

A scene from Fritz Lang’s great Metropolis, looped into small segments in a way that I find delightful.
