npub17hj23w6afv43uufuzx4tknahr87wrx4rwnqnjth9xza5fqjl38dq407a0r (npub17hj…7a0r) Minor White wrote "The Zone System" with Ansel Adams, iirc.
He loved the more abstract desert images. Yours is in that genre, but has a warmth (embrace?) about it that I find missing from White's work.
I spent many hours in a darkroom as a teenager trying to get decent prints that had the depth of tone that the zone system promised. Darktable or Gimp makes that so much easier now!
