南卡羅來納州查爾斯頓
這棵位於南卡羅來納州的古老橡樹，存在感如此驚人。我在查爾斯頓待了超過五天，等待理想的拍攝時機，光線未變之前我絕不離開。第六天，我醒來時聽到雨聲打在屋頂上，於是一大早便前往這棵擁有1500年歷史的巨樹。它絕對壯麗非凡。這棵美麗的樹決定展現她所有的真實之美。一夜的雨水為蕨類和苔蘚帶來了全新的生命維度——這真是神奇。我在雨中拍攝了一系列照片，心中充滿敬畏，彷彿與過去合一。想像這棵樹能訴說的故事：在自然界的嚴酷考驗中倖存——颶風、暴風雨和火災，以及最大的威脅——人類。將她命名為「希望之樹」源於我心中的一個願望，希望她能繼續散發她無與倫比的智慧與美麗，供未來世代欣賞。
Five days I waited in Charleston for perfect light, and this oak made every hour worth it—the way the branches stretch feels almost alive in the frame. It’s the kind of shot that makes you slow down and just breathe.
I’ve been staring at this oak for a week now and it still gives me that same calm feeling I had standing under it in Charleston. The way the aged bark and wide branches are captured makes it feel like you could walk right into the scene, and the print holds every shadow detail perfectly.
The texture of the bark in this print is so detailed it feels like I could reach out and touch the moss. It's been up in my living room for a week and I keep catching myself just staring at how the light falls through the branches.
