As autumn deepens, I find myself drawn once again to the landscapes of upstate New York. Places where the air sharpens, the hills burn with colour, and each day feels suspended between stillness and change. This series is a quiet meditation on the fleeting beauty of the season. The way the light softens, the leaves shift from gold to amber, and the world seems to exhale.

Through my lens, I’m tracing the subtle choreography of transformation: a breeze scattering crimson leaves across a gravel road, branches bending beneath the last light of day, reflections of amber and rust rippling across lake water. These moments hold a kind of gentle urgency, a reminder that beauty often exists most vividly just before it fades.

Working with Kodak 200 120 film, I seek to preserve that warmth, the tactile glow of colour that lives only in this brief season. The project is both a study of transition and an act of quiet noticing, an offering to the rhythms of nature as it turns once more towards rest.
