Medieval bestiaries treated animals as more than natural history. Each creature carried a meaning: a virtue, a lesson, an omen. Bestiary takes up that tradition in a collection of black and white fine art animal photography.

The iconic conical hat of Vietnam: shade, shield, and a quiet veil. Women on the rivers of the Mekong River and the lanes of Hội An, glimpsed beneath the brim. Square black-and-white prints, offered as singles or as triptychs.

The Angkor Wat temple complex and the Mekong River at 850 nanometers, in light just beyond the eye's reach, where the jungle glows white and stone turns pale as bone.

Water, stone and the last of the light. Quiet places at dusk and after dark, where the day’s edges have softened and little remains but shape and silence.

Postcard fishing villages in the Maritimes, photographed on fair-weather days and pushed until the peace breaks. The disturbance is in the seeing.

A palimpsest is a page scraped clean and written over, its earlier words never quite gone. Hands and faces keep their records the same way. Years of work and waiting settle into the skin, each layer still legible beneath the next.

The portraits are shown here as part of the larger story, but are not for sale.
