Piece description from the artist
Two enormous painted wooden arrows — yellow shafts with deep red fletching and arrowheads — are planted dramatically in the high desert scrubland along Route 66 near Two Guns, Arizona or the Two Arrows trading post area of New Mexico, their feathers skyward against a sweeping blue sky laced with wispy clouds. The sculpture's bold graphic geometry and warm red-and-yellow color palette stand in striking contrast to the sparse, muted desert landscape surrounding them, creating the kind of larger-than-life roadside spectacle that made Route 66 legendary. The low-angle perspective amplifies the arrows' scale and drama, making them feel monumental against the open Western sky. This image captures the playful, audacious spirit of American roadside art and the romance of the open road in a single unforgettable frame.
Hi. I love to make photographs. Whether it’s around the corner or in a remote corner of the world, there are photographs to be made everywhere. The camera is a great introduction to people I meet, and it breaks down any language barrier almost instantly. Beautiful scenes of nature can be captured, precious moments frozen in time. We all move through our space in the world so fast that we miss some of the most miraculous moments around us. The camera slows me down. It encourages observation. And, when I’m lucky, I get to be in the right place at the right time to capture a sliver of a moment through the lens. For me, photography is a never-ending search for those slivers.
But most of all, making photographs nourishes my soul. Some people write, others cook or paint or make pottery. I make photographs and I hope they bring you as much pleasure as they bring me.
