Sky, Desert, Truck - Highway 395 Near Coso Junction, CA - Limited Edition 1 of 20 Photograph

Infrared Exposure - First printed: 2014 The road is a central feature in my remote travels, both in terms of how I see the desert and how our highways shape the physical existence of today’s desert communities. I may or may not have been driving at elevated speeds while capturing these images, but the somewhat unpredictable results of not looking though the viewfinder are an appealing counterpoint to the controlled compositions I create from my tripod. The longer shutter times required for infrared exposures blur foreground elements, conveying a sense of forward momentum. While clouds make regular appearances in my desert images, they can be hard to come by in the Mojave for days or even weeks at a time. I chased this majestic formation across the desert for over an hour, circling back to make repeated passes and capturing dozens of exposures. In this particular frame, all the elements lined up in perfect choreography – the shadow of the cloud punctuating the horizon line but not shrouding the trailer, motion blurring at the edges but critical sharpness holding at the center, the rectangular road-signs placed just so – all while piloting my vehicle at 65mph. Sometimes nature and happenstance cooperate to perfect advantage, but as a great artist once said, “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” This image has been exhibited/featured in the following venues: The Art Classic: Oasis - Millard Sheets Art Center - Pomona, CA – 2016 Haunted Landscapes - Art Share LA - 2015 West Hollywood Lifestyle Magazine - 2015 Each print is titled, signed, dated and numbered on verso.

Prints are manufactured in-house at Chungking Studio in Los Angeles Chinatown. Papers include Hahnemuhle Fine Art Museum Etching, Museo Silver Rag, and Moab Entrada Rag Natural, and are selected based on exhaustive tests to determine which material best suits the interpretation of each individual image. These museum-quality, 290-350 GSM-weight papers are exceptionally robust and render outstanding detail. After a successful print is inspected and approved, a protective seal is applied using a three-step process that increases moisture, dirt, fingerprint, and UV resistance; extending the already significant color-fastness of modern archival inks approximately 3x the length of untreated prints. Note: Image area is approximately 12x18" on 17x22" paper.
