Great Smoky Mountains N.P., 2015

I came across this tree deep in the Smokies, glowing like a beacon in the understory. The twisted trunk, reaching into a canopy of yellow, felt almost like a gesture—expressive, weathered, full of character. I was drawn not just to the color, but to the shape, the way the branches moved through space like a line drawn with intention. I wanted to preserve that feeling—the vibrant chaos of fall held together by the quiet grace of structure. This image is less about the tree itself, and more about the moment it becomes something more: a mark, a memory, a flicker of movement in the woods.
