15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Desert Moon, Black Sunset

Desert Moon, Black Sunset was created from content I collected during my travels through Arizona and Death Valley National park in California. I was inspired by the changing landscapes of the valley, and was fascinated by how so many diverse landscapes could occupy one place. The landscape and its qualities made me feel like a tiny being on a different planet. The moon added in the image represents the surreal feeling I had traveling through this area.
