In "Badwater," I was swatting down low, trying not to damage the hexagonal area around me and my camera. I had my camera down low on the vast salt flats of Badwater Basin, feeling the unique texture of the salt patterns, something that would make for a great photograph. The intricate crystalline patterns stretch out endlessly, contrasting sharply with the majestic Panamint Range in the distance. As the sun begins its descent, the sky transforms into a canvas of warm hues, reflecting beautifully across the salt-encrusted ground. This moment encapsulates the raw beauty of one of North America's most extreme landscapes.
The interplay of light and scale in this photograph reveals the powerful forces of nature that have shaped this otherworldly scene. Each detail invites contemplation, allowing you to connect with the serene yet desolate atmosphere of Death Valley. This photograph serves as a reminder of the vastness and complexity of our natural world.

About DaveI create photographs that bridge fine art, landscape, travel, and astrophotography—each image a study in the way light shapes our world. From the shifting glow of the Sonoran Desert to the rugged edges of distant coastlines and the delicate structures of deep space, I’m drawn to scenes where light, texture, and tone converge in unexpected ways. Nature is the true artist; I simply try to honor its vision with every frame. My goal is to reveal the quiet magic of iconic places, turning fleeting moments into lasting visual stories. Through my lens, I invite you to see the world with a sense of wonder, a touch of sophistication, and a spirit of playful exploration. There’s always a bit of adventure—and a dash of wanderlust—in every photograph I share. |
