Jim Geitgey is a West Texas–based photographer whose work examines the nexus between geography, the built environment, the biosphere, and deep time. Drawing on a background in geology, his photographs treat natural and cultural landscapes as material systems shaped by physical law rather than as narrative or sentiment. He uses photography as an observational tool to reveal patterns arising from these forces and to render visible the slow processes of creation, transformation, and destruction—such as growth, morphology, erosion, and stratification—that often escape human perception.
