Fifteen Years of Growth, Revisited
A photo essay on one site across four seasons and a decade and a half
Photography taken at project completion shows a landscape at its least convincing moment: trees too small for their role, plantings still finding their footing, hardscape with no patina. We returned to one of our earliest completed sites and documented it across a full year, from the same vantage points we used when it was new. The difference isn't dramatic in any single photograph. It's cumulative: a canopy that now shades the path it was drawn to shade, a meadow that has thickened into something no planting plan could have specified in advance.
