Black and White photography has always impressed me with the sudden ability for people to see beyond color and into the texture and shapes of an image. Though I prefer to create through vivid color I was inspired to perform some monochrome photography at White Sands. To add a bit of color I added a red filter.
White Sands National Monument. Amazing Shapes! This isn't a road that zigs through the sand here but every line, pattern and texture was created by the wind carrying the sand to form her magic.

White Sands National Monument at Sunset. Though the colors of the setting sun are breathtakingly red, and I often wish I could be in a few locations at the same time. I gravitated to the other side where the pink and blue pastels were surreal against the white sand.
White Sands National Monument. The landscapes here are almost lunar looking. I hiked a 7 mile trail in White Sands and enjoyed the absolute beauty of the blue blue sky against the white white sand. It's always a surprise to come across something so incredibly different in this desert. These structures and the textures caught my time and attention for quite some time.
White Sands National Monument. I have been playing with the dual ability that a photographer has, which is the ability to take a beautiful scene and record the reality of that scene and the abilty to paint with a camera and lens that reality combined with my mind's vision. Multiple exposures allow this creativity flow all in camera, recording what is as well as the imagination of the artist.
The same lunar looking spot in White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Every few steps revealed a new way of seeing this amazing place of white, textures, shapes and sky. I crawled and sunk, crawled and sunk up high onto a sand wall to a spot that revealed the mountain behind the lunar place.
White Sands National Monument. The Criss Cross Shapes in the Sand were made with an in camera double exposure technique.
Animal Tracks at White Sands National Monument. Though I didn't see any of the many animals that reside in White Sands National Monument I saw evidence of them. Thier tracks were like mini sculptures in the sand.
