Shadow, Cabeza Prieta





El Gran Desierto:

Shadows

 

When you pack a view camera
into the desert alone
you make a choice between weight and water.

What is important to me as an artist is the wandering...
what I bring back are these photographs.

 
 
Peloncillo Mountains Tule Mountains Tree, Welton Hills Ocotillo, Playa Buck Peak to Copper Mountain Lechugilla Desert  Great wall, Buck Peak Branch, Sand Tank Mountains Five saguaros, Cabeza Prieta Sand faces, Kanab Creek Saguaro #6 , Organ Pipe Sunrise, Cabeza Prieta Wall, Tinajas Altas Sierra Pinta  Cindercone, Cabeza Prieta

These images were made during solitary walks in El Gran Desierto at the border of the desert southwest and Mexico. The Southwest Center at the University of Arizona has recocognized this work with a fellowship to record what is here at the turn of this century in the hope that this does not become a record of what we have lost.
