• TREES + ROCKS: Contemporary Stereo Images from Joshua Tree and Yosemite is a 3D book that captures the beauty, depth, and expansiveness of the locales' mountain ranges, sequoias groves, cacti filled deserts, and canyon enclosed rivers
• FAULT features images of housing displacement and newspaper headlines of local land policy, to foreground the tectonic shifts that have moved through the California economy
