Portraits of Ghosts

I recently started a new series, Portraits of Ghosts, which deals with the fires which occur more and more frequently in the liminal space between human habitation and wilderness.  I've been taking photos from 2017 on in places like Santa Rosa, CA, where fire raged up to the property line of my family's home.  And in Lahaina, Maui, HI, destroying one of the oldest cities in the US. There are countless more examples of these in every region on the planet.  Here are the first 3 in the series - all the stitching is by hand and I painted Tyvek to add a bit of dimension to the areas that were still ablaze.
