The Southwest is defined great expanses of desert, rocks, and a stark<br />

environment devoid of lush greenery. Yet, the harsh beauty is compelling.<br />

Nevada is no exception. Much of the state is spectacular. The<br />

southern tip of Nevada from Arizona to California is a relatively short<br />

expanse of highway. Going West on Interstate 15 to Palm Springs, the<br />

road goes through mountain passes and miles of bare rocks lining the<br />

road, rather than telephone poles. Civilization, as we know it, is far<br />

away. Driving through these remote, barren lands, often spectacular,<br />

anesthetizes the passengers and drivers. The intensity of constantly<br />

searching for pleasing and enchanting landscapes is often a challenge,<br />

yet learning o the road has its appeal. Capturing this warrior-like rock<br />

draws on a photographer’s instinct.<br />
