Ahhh, this photograph brings me back, once again, to one of the most epic photographic experiences of my life, that one time in the Namib Desert when I chartered a tiny Cessna and flew for two hours over some of the most beautiful, barren, poetic landscape I have ever had the pleasure of staring wide-eyed …
“Isn’t it dangerous?” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked some variant of the above question.
