I liked the delicacy of flesh tones when photographed with infrared
film and began exploring the dunes and woods to have alternate venues
for photographing nudes on the Cape. When developing the film, I
worked to keep the images subtle, avoiding the heavy-handed infrareds
with blown-out highlights and pronounced grain that had become
standard. The visual resonances between sand and flesh and the way
light created atmosphere within the body interested me. The bodies
often look like land masses.
