In these contact sheets I've tried to capture the harmony and serenity of the Japanese Gardens at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens while cutting down the noise of the intense crowds that were only ever inches away. You'll see them in some spots, but my goal was to recreate the 'peace by design' that evolves throughout the seasons here.

Some are 'classic', some are experimental, but all try to build on the designs that the garden itself is built around: reflection, space, flow, and clean lines.
