A Sonoran Soaking.

Salton Sea 2024

There is often a feeling of self doubt when embarking on a new project, or in this case a new section to my desert project. The fact that this is part two adds another layer of trepidation after spending two years photographing the Mojave, a body of work I am most pleased with. Setting out into the Sonoran Desert during a torrential downpour, did not fill me with glee, and neither did the flash floods that followed. However, after battling through the waters and almost being washed away (“Oh, its not that deep!”), the clouds made way for some moody and satisfying events.

Boots now cleaned, and panoramic camera laid out to dry (how that thing is still going is a miracle), the second chapter has begun, and its not half bad.
