Sunrise passed spectacularly, but with it went the color, all save the sand. The shift in tones, the ramping of the wind and the sudden heat of the sun caught me entirely off-guard. As the sun came out of its final arc over the mountains, the sky seemed to falter into an anemic blue for just a moment. The magnitude of the dunes’ color rose and fell sharply, their warmth ablating into the clouds, turning the sky from a sea of early-morning blue and purple to one of mahogany and ash. The subtle chaos of the moment that I’m reminded of looking at this photo is stemmed by its eerie calm, the steady pressure of the sun palpable in every twist of the earth below.”

Just a few miles off the beaten path, I’m alone. Truly alone and closer to everything, as a guest. In places like these, there is nothing between you and the world and you feel as though you must tread carefully. I guess it feels like that because there is something bigger than you there, much much bigger. I don’t know what it is, just that I know it’s there, and it knows I’m there, too. To be out in those woods, is one of the most surreal feelings I’ve ever experienced.”
