Mesquite Flats Death Valley, Nevada Photograph - Limited Edition of 4

Inspiration for this image is Edward Weston and his approach to landscape photography. The abstract look of a fallen tree adds sensual views of nature at its best. I choose this medium because this is what I do , I work with these same materials always. to express my image work. This image was made during a recent photographic large format film trip I took to Lone Pine, Calif. including Alabama Hills Recreation Area. When driving through Death Valley at the conclusion of the trip I had hopes of avoiding a mid-winter snow storm baring down form the north-west. I took the time to make a brief stop at Mesquite Flats Sand Dune. The location payed off when I found this wind swept Mesquite Tree taking on similar shapes as the approaching storm clouds The image was just sitting waiting to be discovered. Using a normal lens with 5X7 film it allowed me to expose for the great detail and compose for the sensual shape of the tree trunk.
