Sierra Nevada

Mountains are mountains, eh? Yes and no. Anyone who has been in real mountains knows that, other than elevation, this is not the case. And even at the same elevations, mountains and their ranges can be very discernibly different. And you don't have to go to the Himalayas or the Rockies or Alps or New Zealand or Africa to know it. They are all different. Go often and enough and you come to know the differences.

We've been to a lot of mountain ranges, but the Sierra Nevada is the one we call "home." These images were made across many years and several return visits to specific places. The work rewards return — the same waterfall in a different season, the same river bend in a different year, becomes an entirely different photograph. What you're seeing is not a survey of Sierra Nevada photo spots, so much as a record of what a particular light asked us to notice, at particular hours, at particular states of the land. From the heights of Mt. Whitney to the depths of Death Valley.
