The Hartmann Valley

The Hartmann Valley in the north of Namibia is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. The mountains and distant dunes are pastel colors, the sand is pink and beige, and the sky the purest of blue. There is no one around; it is absolutely quiet. Each turn on the rutted road presents another glorious vista. I took so many photographs on the 30 minute drive through this magical place, not wanting to forget every angle of beauty I saw.

When I got home, I created this "photocollage," a new process I designed for me to capture the beauty I saw there that now dwells in my mind's eye. Using photoshop and collage, I recreated my impressions of the natural and majestic beauty of Namibia.
