A powerful black and white medium format photograph of the historic Grandfather Tree in Humboldt County, California, captured on Fuji ACROS II film. This 6x7 format image uses a woman standing at the base of the massive trunk to provide a staggering sense of scale for the 1,800-year-old coastal redwood. The high-contrast monochrome aesthetic emphasizes the deep vertical textures of the ancient bark and the dramatic play of light and shadow within the grove. Located along the iconic North Coast, this photograph beautifully documents one of Northern California's most famous natural giants, standing at 265 feet tall with a 24-foot diameter.
