The Bisti / De-Na-Zin Wilderness is a landscape I have been photographing for more than a decade. This remote region of the American Southwest is defined by an earth-toned, otherworldly terrain—an expanse of badlands, hoodoos, and eroded formations that feel both ancient and unfamiliar.
Wind and water have shaped this landscape over time, carving spires, fins, and intricate textures into the soft sedimentary rock. The resulting forms are endlessly varied, each revealing subtle changes in line, surface, and tone depending on light and weather. The hoodoos and sculpted outcrops appear fragile yet enduring, standing as quiet markers of geological time.
This is a place in constant transition. Seasonal shifts, storms, and ongoing erosion ensure that the land is never the same from one visit to the next. The images in this gallery reflect an ongoing relationship with the Bisti / De-Na-Zin Wilderness—one built through repeated exploration and an appreciation for a landscape that continues to evolve, slowly and relentlessly, over time.
