Death Valley 1995

Cliffs, Sagebrush - Death Valley  1995

View Camera - Death Valley  1995

Top photo taken with a 4x5 camera. (See self-portrait above.) The campground below appears to be the Texas Springs campground in Death Valley.

Second thoughts: I'm not really sure that that's me using the view camera. I do like to take photos of other photographers, after all.

The dead white sagebrush make such great contrast in b&w. They make it seem like infra-red. I took a lot of shots at Chaco Canyon with the white sage as foreground.

But maybe they aren't sagebrush? I tend to call all desert plants "sagebrush."

I was thinking of the bush that dries out and is referred to as "tumbleweed" because it rolls across the dry plains and catches against fences and obstacles. The kind that turns snow-white may be a different kind, I don't know.

Also, I tend to label what are clearly different plants as agaves.
