About the Item

Fly Geyser, Black Rock Desert, limited edition photograph, signed, archival ink The terrain of the Black Rock Desert, Nevada is an area that I have always wanted to explore. In November of this year, I finally got the chance. The area is sparsely inhabited with the largest town being Gerlach - population of 100. Humans have inhabited the Black Rock Desert since approximately 11,000 BC.. The large black rock formation was used as a landmark by early settlers and emigrants that initially crossed and settled in the area. At its base is a large hot spring and grassy meadow, which was an important place for those crossing the desert headed for California and Oregon. In the mid-1800's John Fremont and his party were the first white men to cross this desert. That trail be was used by over half the 22,000 gold seekers headed to California after 1849. This history of the early settlers has always intrigued me. During the time I was there the temperatures varied wildly. I saw 50 and 60 degrees during the day.... but as soon as the sun dipped below the horizon the temperatures dropped quickly. Within 15 minutes temperatures would move from the mid-50's to between 10 and 15 degrees. The image describes (more then I can in words) my experience of the landscape of the Black Rock Desert. Its a rugged, isolated, beautiful, geothermal active desert landscape. --Mitch Dowbrowner

    I'D RATHER LOOK AT CLOUDS "…Here we go alone and like it better so...Now lying recumbent…this incessant making up of shapes and casting them down…this incessant ringing up and down of curtains of light and shade, this interminable experiment with gold shafts and blue shadows, with viewing the sun and unveiling it, with making rock ramparts and wafting them away – this endless activity…One should not let this gigantic cinema [of clouds] play perpetually to an empty house…" Virginia Woolf On Being Ill This series began from my bed photographing clouds tripping along the horizon of the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, home to Los Alamos National Laboratory. I had just moved to my small studio perched high that I’d cobbled together over several years. My casual cloud gazing immediately became part of a pain-lessening arsenal - and how lucky for me living in an amphitheatre with an unexpected generous subject – a nearly 24-hour a day theater. The title of this series comes from an exchange with a friend about war...
