Great Smoky Mountains N.P., 2015

This image is my attempt to move beyond a literal representation of the forest and into something more felt than seen. These sugar maples were at their peak, glowing with golden light, but what stayed with me wasn’t just the color—it was the atmosphere. The way the trunks stood in near darkness while the leaves shimmered like echoes of something half-remembered. I used motion and selective focus to create a softer, more abstract impression. For me, this photograph became a meditation on change, memory, and the quiet reckoning that comes with the passing of seasons.
