Darwin Falls is a rare year-round oasis in Death Valley. Fed by perennial springs, it is one of only four permanent streams in the 3-million-acre park offering a lush geological and ecological departure from the surrounding Mojave Desert

This particular image has alluded me for years. Initially, I was drawn to the perfectly chiseled s-curve if the spine's edge. In recent years, with the increase of water in the area, these desert flowers that were once dormant, have sprung up through the soft sand.

Good afternoon Bluesky!

I took a couple days off of here for mental health and it felt great! I have to remind myself to do that every once in a while so I don’t get burned out.

Here is a shot from #deathvalley. We had epic conditions last year!

This is what brown sand dunes look like when intense red clouds fill the sky. What a morning!

My fascination with the shapes of dunes continues. This time at 600mm.

New work from my recent trip to Death Valley.

Titled -Not Naming Names

I don't know that I'll ever get tired of these kinds of scenes. Also, I did- in fact- carry my 400 2.8 up to the top of the tallest dune. 😜

The superbloom is just getting started. I'm seeing flowers sprouting in places I've never seen or noticed before in Death Valley in my 35 years of travels here. And Lake Manly still persists! #deathvalley

Fading golden hour in Death Valley. Anyone else a fan of sand dunes?

I’ve been editing new work from my trip to Death Valley almost every day since I got back. Definitely one of the most intense creative trips I’ve had in awhile. Feeling energized. So, more dunes!

Sand & Soul

Wind swept dunes and storm light were certainly good for the soul on this beautiful evening. Dates for 2026 workshops are now available on my site. Can’t guarantee conditions like this, but even clear skies are great for dune photography.

Know who this is?
Meet Frank "Shorty" Harris, Death Valley's most legendary gold prospector. He walked the harshest deserts but died with just a blanket and a donkey, as carved on his grave.
A pure soul in a wild world.

We haven't been able to make our annual pilgrimage to the desert this winter and I'm missing these favorite places.
