A black-and-white photograph of a weathered wooden barn standing alone in the distance, centered beyond a wide field of tall, windblown grass. A faint path cuts through the grass toward the barn. Bare trees and a few evergreens frame the structure, while an open, bright sky fills the upper half of the image, emphasizing emptiness and quiet. A large-format film negative showing a rural landscape with reversed tones: tall grass fills the foreground, appearing light against a dark background, and a narrow path leads toward a small barn near the center. Leafless trees surround the barn, glowing pale against a deep, nearly black sky. The edges of the negative holder are visible, emphasizing the physical film and photographic process.

Black-and-white film photograph of a quiet forest with tall, evenly spaced tree trunks extending into the distance. Bare branches and fallen limbs scatter across the forest floor, creating a sparse, orderly pattern. No people or animals are present, emphasizing stillness, repetition, and isolation. Black-and-white film negative showing a dense stand of tall, straight tree trunks receding into the background. Bare branches protrude from the trunks, and the forest floor is littered with fallen limbs and debris. The edges of the sheet film are visible, including notches and borders, emphasizing the photographic negative and large-format process. Color photograph of a large-format wooden field camera mounted on a tripod, positioned in the center of a quiet, tree-lined road. The camera’s red wooden body and brass hardware are in sharp focus, with the ground-glass back visible. Tall trees on both sides of the road blur into the background, suggesting depth, stillness, and a solitary moment of photographic preparation.
