One roll of black and white film, shot on Pender Island.

Looking out through an opening in a sea cave. The rock is almost entirely black; the gap frames open water, a far wooded shoreline with a few houses, and a single cloud.

A person in a cap seen in profile at dusk, hair lit from behind, resting against a boat railing with a dark treeline behind them.
02
A low wooded islet reduced to a black band between bright water and a luminous overcast sky.
03
Three vertical bars of light fall across a rocky shoreline, a light leak burned into the negative.
04
A shoreline at low light. Wind-shaped trees on a bluff at left, rocks breaking the surface of the water, open sky.
05
A long pier on pilings running out into the water, with industrial cranes on the far shore under a wide sky.
06
A rocky point crowded with wind-bent conifers, the sky bright behind them.
07
The light-struck head of the roll: a solid black bar, a fogged edge where the film met daylight, and a faint unresolved shape.
