A photographer for a film shoot I was on sets up his own landscape shot one very very early morning in the desert.

This patch of the Mojave desert is amongst the most patriotic patches of desert you will find.

Some horses milling about on the Yaqui reservation wondering if they should be wary of the skinny guy with the big black thing on his head.

Sometimes it’s fun to hide in the bushes and wait for the sun to set. This is better, obviously, if you wear clown masks and carry cream pies to throw at passersby although it’s still a fun summer past time for the whole family. Take your kids out today and hide in the bushes waiting for the sun to set.

I have a minor obsession with reflections. I’m not sure why they always grab me although they always do. Some days I walk around just looking at light bouncing off shiny objects marveling at how such a simple billiard ball bounce could be so engaging.

Just can’t stop looking into the light. It’s fun and it causes retinal damage! It was worth it I think because of the sheer unadulterated wonder that is the desert sunset.

What could that beam of light from the heavens be seaking out? Does god need good oatmeal cookies?

Twas a foggy and rainy and kind of snowy day that day in the desert. Might have found out what is hidden in the fog if I had a 4WD truck or wasn’t pressed for time to get back to Tucson to do stuff and say things and generally jump about and sing and dance the way most everyone does in Tucson.

These intrepid little guys were doing their damndest trying to grow in the desert around Joshua Tree, CA.
