“Autumn Color” turns away from shadow into light. Where my black-and-white work often dwells in memory and mood, these photographs are about presence — the sharp air, the shifting sky, the fire of leaves before they fall. In Ohio, autumn transforms the ordinary: trees flare with brief brilliance, skies deepen, and sunlight cuts through clouds with a clarity that feels fleeting. This series holds onto those flashes of color and change, preserving the season’s intensity before it slips into winter.
