Abstract Forests of the World Series | Uncompahgre National Forest, Telluride, CO.


As the name suggests, my Abstract Forests of the World Series™, features impressionistic exposures of Earth’s iconic forests. The abstract effect is created in-camera by opening the shutter and moving the camera vertically. The movement smoothly blends and preserves the colors of the forest while softly erasing the myriad of finite details – a process that accentuates the vertical nature of the trunks themselves. When done right, this technique allows the viewer to explore an impression of a forest – a glimpse that is both reality and illusion.


The first light of morning illuminates the top of an Aspen canopy at peak fall foliage in the central Rocky Mountains. The inner forest remains in full shadow due to a rideline blocking the sun’s light at an angle, yet a few Aspen trunks at the edge of the forest catch the morning light. I rushed to create an exposure and seconds later, the morning light had penetrated the forest and the magic moment had vanished. The resulting exposure, Ether, has become a flagship image, not just in my Abstract Forest portfolio, but in my overall portfolio. It’s the type of image that keeps me up at night – it stands as a high water mark for my work at the time and challenges me to this day to create great abstract work. I often ask myself, what will be the next Ether?
