I live in madrone tree country (the trees grow along the western coast from northern California to southern British Columbia) and it’s interesting to see how the tree sloughs off its cinnamon-red bark, revealing the inner bark, which can range in color from pale chartreuse to a darker yellowish-green.

For me as a photographer, it’s the peeling bark contrasting with other textures on the tree that catches my eye, and enables me to make bold, abstract images of small sections. Photographed on Whidbey Island, off the Washington coast.

NOTE: This picture is also available in a square version.

I'm a photographer, writer, educator based on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest, specializing in photomontage work, combining photos I've taken of rust, walls, peeling paint, birds, postage stamps, trees, etc. into images that are completely new, different, and often weird. I also create physical collages, then find myself photographing parts of them to include in my photomontages. It's crazy, but it's fun! My career has encompassed writing guidebooks (primarily about where to photograph in California), newsletters (guides for photographers about where to photograph in the United States), leading photo workshops, and conducting online classes.
