Surprises around every corner but nothing dangerous..

Cones, El Mirage, Nov 2024

Back in the day when I considered myself a purist shooting on an 8/10” camera, this kind of shot would have blown me away. It’s pretty reminiscent of Misrach’s Bonville Salt flats image Outdoor Dining 1992 as part of his Desert Cantos series (Still a firm favorite of mine). I made the image without really thinking while waiting for the Time Trials to start at El Mirage, but looking at it now, I really love it. This image has everything I look for in my work; beautiful light in a minimalist landscape with that all important man-made element most people would discard.
