Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park, August 2007 In 2007, I spent three months in 29 Palms, California, where I was working with San Francisco based photographer Emelle Sonh on a manual for the boards of non-profits. This is not the end of the world, the residents say, but you can see it from here. To me, it was a place in the desert that couldn't be more American – fast food restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets. A place beyond cliché, according to Emelle. It felt totally unreal, I loved it! We explored the desert and nearby Joshua Tree National Park, I became a regular in the small but formidable library, and experienced sunsets that I would have judged pure kitsch had I seen only photos of them.
