Mountains are to the rest of the body of the earth, what violent muscular action is to the body of the man. The muscles and tendons of its anatomy are, in the mountain, brought out with force and convulsive energy, full of expression, passion, and strength.” – John Ruskin, 1848

This portfolio of black and white images focuses on mountains, mountain ranges, and the way that light plays on their ridges, peaks, and valleys.

In 2015, my black and white photography was featured in an article by the Spanish-language photography blog, El Paisaje Perfecto; you can read the article here
