Today, I’m featuring some of my own work. As I drive around Tucson this spring, seeing all the cactus and creosote blooming, I am reminded of the spring of 2020, when getting out and seeing the desert in bloom was pretty much our only activity outside of our home. These images were shot as a sort of informal Pandemic Project — a safe outdoor activity, a way to be creative, and an exercise in trying to see beauty in the midst of a living nightmare. I’ve selected a few of my favorite shots to share here in our Wanderlust section to celebrate the incredible flora that manage to grow in our extreme heat environment. Much like humans living through a pandemic, these plants keep trying to bloom. All images were shot on analog film by As Ever Photography and film was processed by Photovision Prints.

Every image is exquisite! The desert is even more beautiful when captured by a talented photographer.
