Something that shouldn’t be there..

Archive images 2000 onwards

In a time of reflection (a birthday), I have spent the last few days looking over my catalog of work putting together a portfolio of work made in the desert. I have been making work in the dry heat now for thirty years and have yet to grow tired from the images. On my first trips to the California in the 90’s, it was always the desert that called me to make photographs. That calling has never left.

Often the images I produce in the desert don’t look like the desert at all, well not the desert most people think of. I don’t have any images of a large cactus, or sand dunes (maybe one or two), or people on camels. just give me something that shouldn’t be there…
