To really see a photograph, one will see more than light and object and color.
When seeing moves past these things, a photograph speaks and perhaps from this we
feel something. This is true with any art form.
I cannot claim these photographs will speak to you or be more than a mere record
of a fleeting moment from a random day. I can say they speak to me and often they
transcend their appearance. But I was there, at each of these places and for most
of these photos I lingered for hours. Far too much falls outside the frame. To
get the full picture imagine the smell of desert sage after a summer rain, the
sound of silence pierced by thunder, the sweet song of a canyon wren, the touch
of hot sand or the rough texture of volcanic rock. Imagine goose bumps when discovering
something awe inspiring such as 2000 year old petroglyphs or the primal chill when
crossing paths with an unhappy rattlesnake.
