Doubt in the Desert.

Mojave 2024

Despite spending so much time in the Mojave, there is always something waiting to be photographed, especially when, like me, your work consists of mans interaction with the landscape and the things we leave behind.

The Sonoran Desert on the other hand, has a different feeling as nothing there feels familiar. Despite venturing out to the Salton Sea last month, a place I have spent a fair bit of time, everything felt different. A lot of this may have been down to the weather as it was the first time I had experienced rain there. But I think it’s more that that, or the difference in the landscape, climate. There is also a feeling of trepidation with the Sonoran being ‘part two’. Will it be as good? Will it even work? Am I wasting time and money? With last months trip being a bit of a wash out, feelings of doubt now fill my mind.
