Wheat Field at Sunset
Photographed in the rolling Palouse region of Eastern Washington during the harvest season's golden hour, this image captures the precise moment when low-angle sunlight transforms cultivated wheat into waves of amber light. The natural geometry of the field rows creates leading lines that guide the eye through the agricultural landscape toward the distant horizon. A study in rural American light and the patterns of working farmland.

Artist's Narrative: The Palouse Light
The Palouse region—spanning southeastern Washington and northern Idaho—is known for its undulating wheat fields that change character with every shift of light. I photographed this field during my years living in the Pacific Northwest, specifically timing the shoot for late summer when harvest-ready wheat reaches peak gold saturation. The challenge with agricultural landscapes is balancing the human geometry of cultivation with the organic quality of natural light. This image isn't just a sunset over farmland; it's a documentation of the relationship between American agriculture and the land it shapes. Having lived in Richland during this period, I developed deep respect for the agricultural communities that shape this landscape. The parallel rows of wheat create a visual rhythm that draws you into the frame, while the warm evening light reveals the individual seed heads and the subtle texture variations across the hillside.
