A landscape of extremes, the deserts of Death Valley National Park and the towering peaks of the Eastern Sierra create one of the most dramatic contrasts in the American West. This collection explores the raw beauty, scale, and atmosphere of these remarkable regions—where barren salt flats and sculpted badlands rise beneath snow-covered mountains and endless desert skies.
Photographed over many years and across countless miles of remote backroads and wilderness terrain, these images capture fleeting moments of light, weather, and season throughout Death Valley and the Eastern Sierra. From glowing desert dunes and ancient playa landscapes to alpine lakes, rugged peaks, and dramatic storm light, the work reflects both the harshness and quiet beauty that define this landscape.
These are places of solitude, vastness, and constant transformation—where extremes of elevation, climate, and geology create scenes unlike anywhere else in North America. This gallery is a personal interpretation of the desert and mountain landscapes that continue to inspire my work year after year.
