Snow on the boulders of the Merced, with El Capitan on the left and Cathedral Rocks standing over the far end of the valley — Yosemite on a winter morning after a storm had cleared. Overnight the snow had grown a coat of feathered crystals: surface hoar, which forms only on cold, still, humid nights and lasts until the first wind or direct sun finds it. I worked low and close to the water to keep that texture in the near frame.
Valley View puts two very different clocks in a single frame. The granite is roughly 100 million years old, cooled miles underground and later lifted and stripped bare; glaciers grinding through the valley in the ice ages squared off its sides and left El Capitan's face standing about 3,000 feet (900 m) above the river. The crystals in the foreground took one night to build and were gone by afternoon.
A note on presentation: black-and-white landscape has traditionally lived on a matte surface, where tone and texture do the work. On a glossy surface the same image becomes something else — dimensional, luminous, contemporary. Both surfaces are available here; they are different objects rather than better and worse.
Gallery Metal — The next generation of the metal print: printed with Canon LUCIA PRO pigment inks and bonded to a rigid aluminium panel beneath a protective laminate, resolving finer detail and holding colour longer than dye-sublimation can. The modern process for images that reward close viewing. Here that keeps the hoar crystalline at size rather than collapsing into a white mass — this is an image that rewards standing close to it. Glossy adds a hard coat for scratch resistance along with the fuller colour and depth; matte is anti-glare and holds sharp detail without softening it. Both are UV-protected for long-term display.
