As a climber and photographer, I travel to the desert often. If you travel deep enough into the desert, you’ll find the broken pieces of a life once lived; remnants of everyday beauty once seen and held.

 

You’ll also find the rock, dirt & water of which they were formed. Desert sandstone is unique in that it’s drastically affected, in every way.

Wind. Water. Time.

It splits and smooths - it rises and crumbles. A powerful landscape, but fragile beyond compare.
