I lived in Texas for the first few years of my life in the USA. During this time, I frequented California’s Yosemite National Park and Big Sur coast. I was so enamored by these grand landscapes that I decided to move to California - with Camera, Lenses and Tripod in tow! I wanted to have unfettered access to these landscapes to make my own imprints photographing them.
The 3 day road trip from Texas to California came with a minor detour to New Mexico’s White Sands National Park. As with all things photography, this image came with abundant luck and perseverance. I was completely sleep deprived after driving all night to make it to the park. Further, grey looming clouds threatened to put a dampener on any chance of photography. However, just before the light turned blue, the clouds parted and illuminated the desert. This was to be the first of many instances persevering for the right light to make my photographs.
