At the southern end of the photo-walk path I generally follow with the dogs along the Mojave riverbed stands a great scattered grove of Joshua trees spread beneath a string of electrical transmission towers running east and west across the riverbed. The juxtaposition of the ancient trees and the modern towers is a bit uncanny—the Joshuas, denizens of the desert for 25,000 years, their irregular branches reaching eternally skyward, contrasted with the unwavering lines of the towers and wires, carrying the electricity upon which so much of our 21st-century life depends.
Camera: Ernemann Film K 6x9 (1920-1926, www.flickr.com/photos/inspiredphotosdotcom/4516468358/in/...). A wonderfully constructed wooden box camera made in Dresden in the years leading up to Ernemann's merger with Contessa-Nettel, Goerz, and Ica to form Zeiss Ikon in 1926.
Film: Rollei Pan 25 (expired 2009), developed in Arista Liquid Developer (1+9) for 5:00 minutes @ 68 degrees, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.
