Architecture and the natural world are often viewed as static fixtures on the landscape. In reality, the built environment exists in constant dialogue with a constantly shifting ecosystem.

This recent sentinel study captures the relationship between the Detroit skyline and the Detroit River’s late winter thaw. By utilizing manual exposure control and a monochrome, lifted black treatment, this series examines:

Structural Scale: The mix of the city’s historic and modern infrastructure set against the expansive riverfront plane.
Reflection: The way drifting ice floes anchor the skyline’s reflections, turning dynamic water into a structural element.
Archival Preservation: Documenting regional landmarks with tonal depth and textural integrity.
