Receding Pyramids

            "Receding Pyramids" (2023)

This is one of those images which I thought was "decent" while photographing but grew on me more and more once I began reviewing my Death Valley images as a whole. I could have easily not stopped to photograph this scene. I'm glad I didn't as it's turned into one of my favorites from the trip. 
This leads me to another thought: I often read or hear the advice to not get the camera out until you "see" a viable image. I couldn't disagree more. Get the camera out! If something grabs your attention then explore its potential. Keeping the camera out makes it much easier to respond to visual inputs. It's impossible to know if an image will work unless you actually attempt to photograph it.
