LEVITATION SERIES

(click on image for enlargement)

Levitation is the illusion of raising an object in the air with little or no physical support. The feeling is one of lightness, buoyancy and mystery. The "Levitation Series" plays with these ideas by creating photographs of seed pods, shells, bones and even stones floating in space. It is like a cabinet of wonders, without the cabinet.

Each photograph is available in a choice of chromogenic or platinum print. The limited editions of 20 are printed on watercolor paper in 15x23 inch sheets. All photographs are made with a Hasselblad camera and black and white film.
