I felt a calling to travel a thousand miles from the rainforest to the desert, where I spent three days watching the shifting sands and their shadows move across the landscape. There was no one but me, the wind, the sand, the Sun, and the Moon.
On the final day, I found the perfect vantage point and positioned my camera. I captured the icy clouds and glistening sand under the desert Sun. I then returned to the same spot that night and programmed the camera to take consecutive 30-second exposures. I triggered the camera, entered the frame, and began my journey up the dune in darkness. Every three steps, I popped a hand-held flash which recorded onto the CCD sensor. I became the light.
For me, this photograph represents the ideal journey from point A to point B. Steady progress lead to leaps.
Upon reaching the apex and returning to my camera, I was rewarded with a rare meteorological phenomenon called a Lunar Halo. The light reflected off the moon’s surface refracting millions of hexagonal ice particles suspended in the atmosphere creating a rainbow ring around the moon on the 21st hour. I was humbled by the beauty. I felt complete.
Ascension of Dumont Dune is a composite image of seven exposures. Two were taken during the day which captured the sky and sand, five were taken at night recording the journey as light. In this process of blurring time, it is a reminder to me that the journey itself is its own raison d'être.
Price includes gas fee for minting.

Several hours after sunset, a rare meteorological phenomenon occurred called Lunar Corona.

Steady progress leads to leaps. I did reach the apex; however, I did not include the last set of lights in this final photograph. This image is a composite of seven exposures. Two were taken during the day, and five were taken at night. In the process of removing time or at least blurring it, it is a reminder to me that the journey itself is its own raison d'être.
