Redwood Roots

Redwood Roots
2016
Muir Woods, California

This photograph by Kim A. Bailey captures the intricate root system of redwood trees, exposed and etched into the earth by years of flowing water. Shot from above, the image flattens the scene into a striking abstract—where roots twist and interlace like veins across textured soil. The worn dirt reveals the passage of time, and the monochromatic palette emphasizes form, pattern, and shadow. It's both grounded and organic, evoking a quiet strength shaped by endurance and erosion.

Redwood Roots is printed using traditional high-quality methods. It will be printed on Kodak’s Metallic Photographic paper. I use this paper for most of my prints since I love the little glitter that it adds. Kodak’s Endura Metallic paper can put so much “pop” in the enlargements that they’ll look as if they were taken in 3D! The secret behind this amazing paper is literally behind the picture! Kodak has placed a silvery metallic surface under the dye image. This layer acts like a mirror, reflecting the light illuminating the front of the print back through the dyes. The result is a brilliant, almost translucent effect that can be far brighter than conventional enlargements. This paper is also stable in that it lasts 100 years in a typical home display, 200 years in dark storage and 1 to 5 years for commercial display (Quoted from Kodak’s Spec sheet).
