I set out to capture the Nevada desert mountains like no one had before. My goal was to photograph the mountains and valleys of the Mojave Desert west of Las Vegas, bringing its vast beauty to life. But the journey was perilous. I rode up the mountain with a half-crazy local, speeding recklessly in his old 4x4. The narrow dirt road clung to the mountain’s edge, with sheer drops plunging thousands of feet below. Every turn sent my heart racing.
The air smelled of dust and dry pine, as the last light of day bathed the valley, casting everything in golds, pinks, and purples. My camera bag dug into my side, a constant reminder of the dream I was chasing. Next to me, my companion in the backseat gripped the back of the front seat, pale and sweating. He was on the verge of a full-blown panic attack, his breath coming in sharp gasps as the truck bounced over rocks and slid dangerously close to the edge. We hit a big rock, and for a terrifying moment, the truck skidded toward the cliff. My stomach dropped, but the tires found grip just in time.
Finally, we reached the summit. I scrambled out of the truck, determined. Before me, the Mojave Desert spread out in waves of rugged beauty, the mountains fading into the horizon under a sky painted in soft pinks and purples. The wind howled, and the desert smelled of sage and sunbaked earth.
I set up my camera quickly—the light was perfect. I framed the shot, capturing the way the mountains rolled endlessly, the sky glowing above them. I clicked the shutter just as the sun dipped below the horizon. I had the shot.
It was a dream come true. I’d photographed the Mojave like I had always imagined, and when I showed the image to my friends, their expressions said it all.
