Black and white photo of peering into the window of an old car, with the perspective of smooshing your cheek against the window to see inside on a sunny day when the inside is dark. The driver side window glass is reflecting the round side view mirror and beyond which there is leather bound steering wheel sitting in front of an instrument cluster with round dials showing the speedometer and partial gas tank and other obscured items. — "Truck Window"

Black and white photo of a rock face lit by the sun casting strong shadows in the nooks and crannies and some shapes from trees as the light is filtered onto the surface. The rocks are layered as if it was put together to form a wall but also very jagged and haphazard in the way they jut out. There's more texture than there are distinct shades. — "Layers"

A black and white photo of a sunny scene in a wooded area with a small brook babbling from the middle of the frame to the right while tree trunks mostly bare of leaves are scattered haphazardly throughout. The tree branches and trunk are strongly lit on the right and in darkness on the left much like the grass that lines the banks of the brook. The middle of the frame has a strong vertical flare that is highlighting a tree trunk in the background making it glow and almost as bright as the light colored leaves that are covering the woodland floor in the foreground. — "Woodland stream"

Black and white photo of bright cholla cactus in sharp focus in the foreground with a massive rock facade off in the distance under claer skies. — "Rugged"

Black and white photo of desert ravine scene with a black border that has a fuzzy internal border as if the image shifted on itself. There are prominent rock faces and a few trees in the top third and a body of water reflecting of the trees and a sky of scattered clouds in the foreground. The rest of the photo the ravine looks natural until you take a closer look and everything is just a bit undefined; fuzzy but not blurry, there but also floating. — "Double Dream"

A black and white double expsoure of a desert scene, the film rebate of a 6x4.5 frame can be seen with the black edge getting a small cat eye cut in. The more prominent exposure is a distant rock out on a hillside against a stark sky which is starting to show the other exposure, another shifted over and titled desert horizon. Below the rock out crop are massive trees with their canopy brightly lit and the trunks plunging into darkness. The second exposure also starts featuring in the foreground with a tall pillar of a cactus on the left of the frame simultaneously obscuring and highlighting a path into the valley from the other exposure. The hilly horizon and the angle of the cactus make you want to tilt your head slightly to the left to look at the photo.. — "Double Ridge"

A black and white double expsoure of a desert scene, the film rebate of a 6x4.5 frame can be seen with the black edge getting a small cat eye cut in. The foreground is a prominent sign reading "Rattlesnakes ONLY. Beyond this point." in the middle of the frame mounted on a post. Beyond the sign stretching into the out of focus blurry background is a prominent rock face on the side of a hill on a fairly steep hill. The entire scene is light in bright sunlight with some wispy clouds in the sky. The sign is in the shade but against the bright background making it stick out more. — "Rattlesnakes only beyond this point"
