I wasn't fully satisfied with the previous version and wanted to bring up the exposure on the foreground and middle ground. This conveys more of my original vision.
At the western base of Ryan Mountain lie adobe ruins representing early turn of the century life in Joshua Tree National Park. What remains there today is the footprint left behind by the Ryan family, who came to Joshua Tree in the 1890’s to manage and eventually acquire the Lost Horse Mine, the most successful mine in the area.
The six-room house was built as an adobe residence in 1896 with later wood frame additions. It was destroyed by fire August 12, 1978.
I have used small LEDs to light up the interior and light painted the exterior and the Joshua tree in the background.

An Apsara dancer performs in front of an ancient temple in Siem Reap. The term "Apsara" refers to celestial nymphs or female spirits in Hindu and Buddhist mythology. The dance is a national symbol of Cambodia and is characterized by its elegant and intricate hand movements and rich ornate costumes. Many temples in Siem Reap, including Angkor Wat, feature bas-reliefs and carvings of Apsara dancers. At the height of the Khmer Empire in the 12th century, it is said that Angkor Wat had some 3000 Apsara dancers to entertain and delight the King. The dance itself is beautiful to watch. It is performed at a pace similar to Tai Chi, but with ornate movements, gestures, and body/leg positions. When performed by more than once dancer, the synchronicity and symmetry is a visual feast.
Aurora, the night of March 1st.
A film shot, taken on Konica Centuria 800. This film was 5 yrs. past it's expiration date and turned out to be pretty grainy but still did a great job of capturing the deep red in the Aurora that night.
