Human photography essay

Desert Aesthetics

What I love about the desert is how cruel, Spartan, and vast it is.

Also, something strangely zen about being in the desert. It purifies my mind, and in someways, makes me go into primal mode. You you think a lot less about the luxuries of modern day society, and instead think about the essentials.

Joshua Tree is my new favorite place. I can’t wait until I go back!

Therefore, if you want to clear your mind, I recommend going to the desert.
