Utah, 2015

Quaking aspens have always fascinated me—their leaves shimmer and dance with the lightest breeze, giving them their name. But what’s even more remarkable is that an entire grove can be a single living organism, connected by an underground root system. The Pando grove near Moab is one of the largest and oldest living things on Earth, and it's part of what first drew me to this landscape.

If you've spent any time with my work, you know how much I’m drawn to trees. There's a quiet poetry in their form, resilience, and rhythm—and aspens, with their luminous bark and fluttering golden leaves, are among my favorites. I made this image in the La Sal Mountains outside Moab, just as the trees reached their autumn peak. The light, the color, and the stillness of that morning came together in a way that felt like standing inside a living flame.
