A low contrast black and white image of a metal sundial sculpture, roughly shaped like an eagle's claw. One talon is coated in black dots.
A low-contrast, black and white image of a very large head sculpture. The sculpture is half-covered in black dots.
A fallen tree stands emerges from a leafy meadow punctuated with pastel blue flowers. A light ray streams from out of frame.
A black and white infrared, panoramic image with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Three groups of visitors stand apart from each other. (Left) a young couple looks into each others eyes, (center) a man looks down at his phone (right) a woman flips her hair.
A full-spectrum photo channel swapped so IR-reflective materials appear yellow. Two event volunteers work on an ultralight plane. A corrugated metal building with pipes and tanks fills the background.
A lone figure stands on a sandy Chicago beach past a pari of upturned boats. Abstract forms -- protesters marching and holding signs -- just begin to bleed into the image's top left corner
A black and white infrared photo of a street corner.
A black and white photo of three players running from a building's shadow into a brightly lit crossing. One is holding a cardboard shield.
A screen capture of the Artemis II livestream taken a 16:48 Eastern time. The Integrity's rear thrusters can be seen just overlapping the half of the Earth in nighttime shadow.
A shot from the highline north down an NYC avenue. Lens compression is extremely evident here, and only made possible by the long focal length.

Flyer for "Modeling the Invisible" competition workshop. "This hands-on, team-based competition workshop invites participants to build and refine predictive models of viral epidemics under realistic constraints, including incomplete and noisy data. Over three days, teams will be challenged to generate forecasts for simulated influenza outbreaks. Participants are encouraged to apply a range of modeling approaches, from mechanistic to statistical and machine learning methods, to interpret data, uncover underlying dynamics, and improve predictions over time. The goal is to foster creativity, rigor, and critical thinking in epidemic forecasting, echoing the complexities and uncertainties faced in real-world public health response."
A panoramic photo of a greenhouse. The glass is rendered in a calming blue, reflecting the white clouds above. The grass on the outside is a vibrant carmine.
A color infrared panorama centered on Alcatraz island, as viewed from Fisherman's Wharf. Puffy white clouds and vibrant teal sky contrasts against punchy carmine red foliage on the horizon, and the rippling cerulean waters of the bay. A ship can just be seen leaving from the island's eastern side.
