From the Ashes

This was my first shoot since switching from a 4x5 to an 8x10 film camera after losing my home to fire only a few months earlier. I couldn't help but see the sun and clouds like the head and body of the phoenix rising from the ashes.
West Sonoma County, 2016.

Oh John, beautiful! Going to be a great way to catalog all of your work!

Hoping to bridge the difference between viewing on a screen and seeing it in person. Never as good as in person but we can try!
