For this image some friends and I drove to Trona Pinnacles, California during mid summer. To get out of the heat we planned on showing up at sunset and leaving in the morning after we slept. That did not happen. We ended up staying up the entire night shooting the milky way then decided to drive back the 3 hours home at 5:30am.

Far away in the Mojave Desert of California lies Death Valley National Park. A truly remote place that is very void of human interaction as well as had one of the hottest temperatures on Earth at 130F in 2020. This luckily was a winter sunrise.

One goal I had for this project was to get an aerial shot and this came true when I was headed on a flight to Colorado and flew over the many remote places in between.

Got very lucky while hiking the Narrows in Zion National Park, the waterproof shoes that were rented fit very well with the color of the sand by the river.

Once again with our current theme running strong with a sleepless drive from Fort Collins, Colorado to the Great Sand Dunes National Park departing at 1:30am. With the dunes being so exposed we waited all day before deciding to spend the night on them because of the lack of shade and water they contain.
