Wildflowers, Carmel, California, 2012

The vast field of wildflowers fills half this frame, each one of them fragile and temporary. I juxtapose them here in contrast to the rocky shore of Monterey Bay, which has stood here for hundreds of thousands of years and will likely still be there a hundred thousand years from now. I also juxtapose five bands of color across this wideangle view, beginning with green, then moving to a mixture of red and yellow, proceeding to a blend of gray and yellow, and finally on to the deep blue sea in the background. The image becomes a rainbow of time, a juxtaposition of the temporary and the permanent.
