Egypt, 2010

“When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you.” Friedrich Nietzsche

I am fascinated by the desert; I love the minimalism, the spareness of it. It is honest: essential and unforgiving, subtle. The textures, lines, and curves of the waves of dunes are hypnotic. A knife-edged, sinuous ridge line, with only a slight tonal variation to visually separate it from the next dune, will hold my attention with the same commitment needed to study the most complex cityscape.
