Traveling and photographing with Nevada Wilderness Project deep in the interior of Nevada is neither boring or predictable, that's what makes every shoot with them an adventure.

Staring problems. Pronghorn, somewhere Nev.



I'm pretty sure we were trespassing & I'm pretty sure the landowner of this hot springs had his gun-sites on us.

"If you don't like the weather in Nevada wait fifteen minutes." Moments before this photograph was taken it was a blizzard with only 20ft of visibility. High Schells Wilderness, Nev.
