The stone formations didn’t disappear into darkness

This photograph was made in Telluride during autumn

You don’t direct the moment

adjustments were limited to basic exposure and color balance

This image is about slowing down in a place known for its scale and letting something small carry the weight of the frame

The Big Bend NASA Pod Big Bend The stone formations didn’t disappearBig Bend Region, Texas We call it this the NASA Pod for obvious reasons. It isnt a spacecraft its an old cement mixer, abandoned in the desert and slowly being reclaimed by dust and time. But the first time you see it lying there under a night sky, glowing like something radioactive and misplaced, it feels less like construction equipment and more like debris from another era. Thats how Big Bend can be sometimes, you head out looking for mountains,
