A stone lion steadies itself at the parapet; a lone palm ascends into iron-grey cloud.  Between them stretches the charged quiet that precedes rain—the temple holding its breath, the jungle relearning stillness.

Stormlight draws every edge toward revelation.  The air smells of wet bark, carved sandstone, distant thunder withheld.  Presence settles like fine dust upon the lens.

I stood there, head bowed behind the dark-cloth, feeling not observer but acolyte.  Their vigilance entered the glass; my pulse slowed to meet it.

Captured on large-format black-and-white film in a single long exposure, the negative was later shaped through chiaroscuro and meticulous hand-toning until shadow carried the heft of cloud and highlight held the pulse of stone.

Printed on museum-grade Hahnemühle Bamboo paper, The Watchers is limited to twenty-five prints, plus two artist’s proofs.
A threshold of stillness—ready to be welcomed into your space.
