Had a couple photos featured on one my favorite art sites, fecal face.

Taken on a solo night hike in the Las Vegas desert out by Red Rock Canyon. My sister's neighborhood butts right up to this, so I packed up a bag with my camera, on camera flash, some cigarettes, a beer, and a couple bottles of water. Also took mace because my brother-in-law had recently spotted a mountain lion in the area. I only went a mile or less out but the air is so dry and windy, I was immediately parched. Took some long exposure photos of the mountains (which weren't so great) and flash photos of the large yet adorable cacti all around. I later used these photos for reference in some drawings, which you can see in some blog posts below.
