A black and white street scene in a small mountain town with historic brick buildings lining both sides of the main street. The signs for shops, cafés, and a hotel add to the nostalgic charm, while parked cars and a few pedestrians suggest a calm midday moment. Towering mountains rise steeply behind the town, their forested slopes contrasting against a dramatic sky filled with luminous cumulus clouds. Captured on Rollei Superpan 200 film with a Pentax MX and 28mm f/2.8 lens, developed in Ilford DD.

Promotional poster for An Iliad, presented by Thunder River Theatre Company and UpstART Theater. The design shows a glowing orange sword pointing downward, superimposed over the faint outline of a red Trojan helmet. Dark background with scattered red splatters gives a sense of blood and battle. Bold white text reads “AN ILIAD.”

A bronze statue of an elk is shown gazing upward toward the brick façade of an historic building. The elk is heavily antlered. We can see curtains drawn back from several open windows. At upper left, we see the letters "B.P.O.E." etched into the surface over a pair of central windows.

An across-the-valley view showing a bit of the town of Ouray at lower right, with the focus of the image being the alpenglow-lit cliffs at right center, extending up toward a sky barely hanging onto daylight, with thin, wispy clouds lit pink. The prominent rock rib at left center is bowed up as if pushed from below.
