Monsoon season is when the desert stops pretending to be still. Heat builds all day, light hardens, and then the sky begins to move — first with wind, then with cloud, then with violence or restraint, depending on the day. These photographs come from waiting through that uncertainty: watching walls of rain miss by a mile, feeling outflow winds arrive before the storm itself, seeing light fracture across ranges that have not changed in geologic time but change completely in an afternoon. The desert tells a different story each time weather passes through it. This portfolio is an attempt to listen closely, and to record what is offered before it moves on.
