Growing Shadows: A Photograph

A black and white frame from a spring walk. The eye travels from order at the bottom of the picture to chaos at the top.

Black and white photograph of a dry stone wall. Neat brick paving runs along the base and the coursed stone sits above it, and the top of the wall disappears under a dense tangle of trailing vines.

Growing shadows, spring 2026. Hasselblad, Ilford Delta 400.

A black and white photograph from this spring, snapped while out for a stroll in the neighborhood. The image goes from order to chaos as your eye travels from the bottom of the photograph to the top.
