Off-screen

The slow work that balances out the screens: photographs gathered on travels and around home, and traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting.

Terraced paddies stepping down a misty mountain valley toward a village
Mount Fuji rising beyond a lake fringed with tall reeds
A blue jay perched on a bare branch
A five-story pagoda with Mount Fuji rising behind it
A fox squirrel on a tree branch, facing the camera
A mallard drake standing on rocks at the water’s edge
The Great Wall of China winding along forested mountain ridges
A stone-lantern path climbing between rows of tall cedars
A honeybee on pale wildflowers
Wind-eroded desert ridges falling away in raking light
A white lighthouse on a green headland above a churning sea
A granite valley under low cloud, reflected in a still river
A lone pine silhouetted against a fog-veiled granite dome
A boat on a calm lake dotted with islands
Red sandstone buttes under a broad desert sky
A car on a hairpin road cut into a forested mountainside
A slender steel arch footbridge spanning a green gorge
A stream winding through steep green hills
A marina at blue hour, boats reflected on still water
Chinese calligraphy reading 海纳百川 (“the sea holds a hundred rivers”)
Chinese ink painting of an eagle swooping toward a fish, with a red seal at left
Chinese calligraphy reading 百年好合 (“a hundred years of harmonious union”)
Ink painting of two shrimp among reeds
Chinese calligraphy of Li Bai’s lines 人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月 in running script
Ink painting of a leafy branch
