A road draws the eye onward.
The windshield stays in the frame. Mountains and clouds meet along a strip of road. Near the coast, the straight line becomes a bend.

Let the valley set the scale.
Two Yosemite photographs from August 8: one looks up at rock, another keeps the trees and their reflection. Moving closer or stepping back changes the scale of the frame.

Let the day grow quiet.
In this photograph from Carmel, the sun sits close to the sea. Rock gives way to clouds, a line of light, and layers of waves.

A journey has ordinary edges.
A box of food. The lights of a motel. These small things stayed in the album alongside the big views, giving the journey a more tangible edge.
