MOUNTAINS

Mountains are perilous places of rock, snow, and ice, but they are also places of great tenderness. Many of the images here were taken surrounded by loved ones, or in contemplation of their absence. Trails, peaks, and alpine lakes all hold laughter and silence; sensuous memories of freezing water lapping the ankles, skin scraping on stone, momentary sunlight on arms; the sound of wind ripping against a raincoat, or the sleeping bag of someone you miss still rustling.
