Fireflies

Carter's masterful use of the gelatin silver print medium lends the image a rich, velvety tonal depth that enhances its ethereal, almost otherworldly quality. The work evokes a sense of wonder and fleeting mystery, inviting the viewer into a quiet, enchanted moment suspended between the natural and the imagined.
