30 | Nevada


My second visit to Nevada, celebrating 30 years of life (circa. July 2025)

I remember my first trip to Nevada was for the start of a road trip that spanned the states of Nevada, Arizona, and California, visiting several cities in the process, some for the first time. I remember the difficulty describing the scenes I encountered along that trip, only having the images i took along the way to describe the majesty of nature's various elements.

The second trip was more for celebration, bringing my camera obviously to document more of Nevada's great sites, while enjoying the gratefulness of seeing 30 years on earth.

Nevada has great heights, mountains settled like a painted canvas against the sky. It takes time to understand how great the views are. On this trip, I rode a horse and ATV, saw more of Nevada's various locations, specifically the breathtaking Red Rock Canyon.

From the angle of photography, I focused on capturing the many natural but statement-making views of the environment, stopping along the way of the trip on the road to evaluate the large rocks, distant mountains, and dry land that brought all the sights together.
