Chapter 3 — Colorado Landscapes & Cityscapes

Colorado reshaped the way I see. The altitude, weather, and wide‑open spaces introduced a new scale and a new rhythm. Here, the landscape isn’t just a setting — it’s an active force. This chapter reflects a shift toward clarity, subtlety, and the quiet drama of the high plains and Front Range.

Colorado sharpened my instincts and expanded my vocabulary. With that foundation, my work naturally turned toward people — toward collaboration, gesture, and the human presence within a frame.
