Seen through the glass of a display case, the shelf edge and price tags at the bottom frame a pair of hiking boots left on a windowsill inside a cabin, with the first fresh snowflakes visible on the glass outside and a layer of dry snow settling on the laces and upper part of the boots. A dried mud stain from the previous day's walk is still visible on the side, a wool sock is tucked inside one boot, and the windowpane has small icicles forming in the corners. The scene is captured with a large-format view camera on a tripod, everything sharp and the lines perfectly straight. Clear morning sun through an east window casts long cool beams across the floor, highlighting the textures of the boots and the snow. Two unrelated things placed next to each other so they comment on each other, the boots and the window, create a narrative of transition. Shot on large format film, the image shows extreme sharpness, high dynamic range, and a cool color cast.
