BASIN AND RANGE I have photographed in the deserts of the American West for years, spending weeks alone with the land.   It is the extraordinary breadth of the desert terrain that I find most striking.  I sense an expansiveness in my own nature which corresponds to the calm and openness of the land. The car is a part of the desert landscape as I experience it.  It is a companion and protector even as it is an intrusion.  The car is a symbol both of our access to the land and our incursion upon it. In the desert, the prominence of a broad unobstructed horizon line is striking at any time.  But at dusk, as landscape fades from view, the horizon line becomes more sharply defined.  An immense quiet takes hold.  I thrill at the hush of blue and then the still of black that veils the land.
