“Plates of Granite in Nesekewatch” by Scott Rinckenberger is a fine art black and white photograph that transforms a mountain cliff face into something that reads as richly and intimately as an abstract painting. Shot close and straight on, the image fills the frame entirely with fractured granite — great angular plates of rock cleaving away from one another, dark fissures running like brushstrokes between pale, mineral-streaked faces. Water stains streak vertically down the surface, and the jagged geometry of each shattered plane creates a composition of astonishing complexity and depth. The tonal range moves from near-white at the exposed rock faces to deep, inky black in the crevices, lending the image a dramatic chiaroscuro quality that feels almost sculptural. There is tremendous age here — the slow, inevitable force of freeze and thaw, of a mountain in the ongoing process of becoming. Named for the Nesekewatch Creek drainage deep in the Cascades, this is a portrait of a place few will ever stand, rendered with the reverence of someone who understands that these wild, unwitnessed places matter most of all.
